What is the simplest radical form of the square root of 241?
Since 241 is a prime, sqrt(241) cannot be simplified.
What is 241 percent as a fraction?
241% means 241/100 = 241/100 ===========simplest form about 2 and 2/5 ==========mixed number
What is the prime factorization of 241?
241 is a prime number, so the prime factorization is just 241.
What is the answer to 600-241?
841
What is 241 times 7?
241 × 7 = 1687
How is americium 241 used in smoke detectors?
Americium-241 being radioactive - emit alpha particles - is used as a source to ionization of air.
Why are alpha and gamma radiations used in americium 241?
The term "used" is not adequate. The radioactive decay of Am-241 is associated with the emission of alpha particles and gamma rays.
What is 7230 divided by 30?
241
Element named in honor of america?
Americium - atomic number 95
How a fire alarm would be raised?
The fire alarm device is usually equipped with an Amercium-241 that is alpha emitter source together with a battery derived electric circuit. In the normal situation the alpha particles ionize the air causing circuit connection. However when there is a smoke the circuit is disconnected due to the smoke that acts as an insulator and hence the alarm is actuated.
What is a radioactive element used is smoke detectors?
Americium 241
How are alpha particles used in smoke alarms?
Alpha radiation is emitted from the amercium button in a smoke detector. When smoke goes into the smoke detector it blocks the stream of alpha particles emitted from the americium. That triggers an alarm.
What element is used in smoke detectors and named for the US?
AMERICIUM 241!
What is the simplest radical form of the square root of 241?
Since 241 is a prime, sqrt(241) cannot be simplified.
What equals 241 in multiplication?
1 x 241, 241 x 1.
What is 30 percent of 241?
30% of 241 = 241*30/100 = 72.3
Is americium 241 hazardous?
If used inappropriately or carelessly, Americum-241 can be hazardous. It is a radioactive material that decays by emission of an alpha particle. Alpha particles are only dangerous if they are emitted by atoms within your body, so Americium-241 is only hazardous if it gets into your body. Americium-241 is used in ionization-type smoke detectors. In that use it is not hazardous unless the smoke detector is severely abused.
