For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
A. zero
B. minus 1
C. minus 2
D. minus 3
Use a sketch, an equation in addition to your precise and concise description. Please give a very detailed answer.
1) Discuss the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion.

Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources. 1. Which color would deliver more photons each second? All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance. 2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain. 3.

- Write a CR for the solved problem. A example of one is attached as well. The problem about the ROCK is the example CR. The problem you ARE writing a CR for is 5x^2-8x=3. Instructions below. For the CR's, claim you should answer the question of , do you get 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or 2 complex solutions? For your reasoning you should explain how you know. Use the example attached to help you answer. hints: that plus minus sign means there are two answers. If the number under the square root is positive, you have two real solutions. If the number is negative you have two complex solutions. If the number is 0 under the square root you have 1 real number solution.arrow_forwardRead all the instructions carefully then answer.
