In the evening you go back to the swimming pool with your friends. The object is still lying on the bottom of the pool in the same location as before, but since it's dark now, you use a flashlight to show it to your friends. Remembering the apparent location of the object in daylight, where should you aim to illuminate the object with the flashlight

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.

answer///terminator or twilight zone;

54 degrees incident angle = reflected angle

angle is from normal turned to line of ray
