Question 13 of 25

Which of the following processes do not depend on spontaneous radioactive
decay?
Check all that apply.
A. radium paint that makes watch dials glow in the dark
B. the process of bone-scan imaging
C. using carbon-14 to determine fossil ages
D. the energy production of the sun
E. the energy production in nuclear reactors

Answer 1

The processes that do not depend on spontaneous radioactive decay are radium paint, bone-scan imaging, and energy production of the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The processes that do not depend on spontaneous radioactive decay are A. radium paint that makes watch dials glow in the dark, B. the process of bone-scan imaging, and D. the energy production of the sun.

These processes do not involve the decay of radioactive elements. Radium paint contains a phosphorescent material that emits light after being exposed to light. Bone-scan imaging uses a radioactive tracer to visualize bones. The energy production of the sun is through nuclear fusion reactions, not radioactive decay.
