An isotope of 238,92-Uranium decays into a stable isotope of 206,82-Lead through a series of alpha and beta decays, how many of each does it go through?

This is a good example of where simplification can make an otherwise tricky question a lot easier. It is easy to get confused trying to work out different isotopes and the extra products of the decays, bu...

Which are the types of carrier movements and how are they activated

Drift - As a result of an electric field

Diffusion - As a result of a carrier gradient, by other words a difference in the carrier level from one side to the other, usually when we have a p-n junct...

How, given the threshold frequency and the kinectic enery of a photon, do you determine the frequency of the phton?

You can use E= hfo + KE and E=hf (Einstien's equations) to work how the frequency of a photon, where fo is the threshold frequency and h is Planck's constant.

A ball is thrown up with an initial velocity of 8 m/s and initial height of 1.5m above the ground. Calculate the maximum height the ball reaches and the time it takes to get there.

Travelling upwards

u = 8m/s     v = 0 m/s      a  = -9.8m/s       S = ?        t = ?

v = u + at                                      v= u2 + 2a(S - 1.5)

Discuss the difference between sharpness and contrast in x-ray imaging

Sharpness describes how well the edges of structures in an x-ray image are defined, while contrast describes the difference in degree of blackening of adjacent structures.
