1. An object is placed 15cm from a converging (concave) mirror that has a focal length of 10 cm. a. Determine the image location.
b. If the object is 5cm high, how high is the image.
c. Is the image real or virtual? inverted or upright? smaller or larger?

the answer is b

explanation:

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

when it gains or loses electrons
