Question
Why does a phonograph-record attract dust particles just after it is cleaned?
✓
Answer
When a phonograph record is cleaned, it develops a charge on its surface due to rubbing. This charge attracts the neutral dust particles due to induction.

57Co decays to 57Fe by $\beta^+-\text{ emission.}$- emission. The resulting 57Fe is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting $\gamma-\text{rays}.$ The half-life of $\beta^+-\text{decay}$ is 270 days and that of the $\gamma-\text{emissions}$ is 10-8 s. A sample of 57Co gives 5.0 × 109 gamma rays per second. How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to 2.5 × 109per second?
