8. A tuning fork vibrating with a sonometer wire 20cm long produces 5 beats per second. Given
that the beat frequency does not change if the length of the wire is changed to 21cm, calculate
the frequency of the tuning fork and frequency of sonometer wire when changed to 21cm.

Radioisotopes often emit alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. the distance they travel through matter increases in order from alpha to gamma. each radioisotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time needed for half of a sample of radioisotope to undergo nuclear decay. which quality is desirable for a radioisotope that is used for medical imaging of a specific organ? check all that apply. half-life of several years half-life of several days half-life of several seconds emission of gamma rays emission of alpha particles ability to be attached to a compound used by the body ability to pass through the body without being absorbed
