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.
a) Sketch a generic HR diagram, including labels for the
axes. (Take a picture or scan your work and upload it as
a separate file.)
b) Consider the following three stars, place them on your
HR diagram and determine their rough spectral type and
class of star. Also calculate their size relative to the Sun.
I) L = 0.001 Lsun T = 3000~K
II) L = 20,000 Lsun T = 4000K
III) L = 0.001 Lsun T = 15,000K

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_forward
