Questions
1. Iodine-131, a beta emitter, has a half-life of 8 days. A 2-gram sample of initially pure iodine-131 is stored for 32 days. How much iodine-131 remains in the sample?
2. Two coils are arranged in close proximity to one another. The first coil is connected to a Duracell battery. Explain what, if any, effect this has on the second coil. Use an electromagnetism principle to justify your answer.
3. An electron moves from the n=1 state to the n=3 state. Did the electron absorb energy or release energy during this transition? Explain how you know.
4. Looking into the night sky, you see one star that appears yellow and another that appears red. Which star is emitting photons with the higher energy?
5. How many protons are inside the nucleus of an Ag-108 atom?
6. Iodine-131, a beta emitter, has a half-life of 8 days. A 3-gram sample of initially pure iodine-131 is stored for 16 days. How much iodine-131 remains in the sample?
7. An electron moves from the n=4 state to the n=3 state. Did the electron absorb energy or release energy during this transition? Explain how you know.
8. Looking into the night sky, you see one star that appears yellow and another that appears red. Which star is emitting photons with the higher speed?
