Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Wilson cloud chambers commonly use supersaturated alcohol vapour, which condenses on ions to show particle tracks.

The atoms in a sample of hydrogen are all in their ground state. Now a beam of electrons accelerated through a potential difference of 12.5 V is directed at the sample. How many wavelengths can be possibly emitted?
A. 5
B. 3
C. 4
D. 2
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
12.5 eV electrons can excite hydrogen up to n=3 (n=4 requires ~12.75 eV), producing transitions 3→2, 3→1 and 2→1 — three wavelengths.

Which of the following is not a mode of radioactive decay?
A. Positron emission
B. Fusion reaction
C. α-decay
D. Electron capture
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Fusion reaction is a nuclear reaction, not a mode of radioactive decay; positron emission, electron capture and α-decay are decay modes.

45. Protons were produced in the bombardment of N14 by alpha particles. Which is the residual nucleus after the emission?
A. Carbon
B. Nitrogen
C. Oxygen
D. None of these
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The alpha bombardment of N-14 produces O-17 and a proton; the residual nucleus is oxygen (option C).

Prince Louis and vector de-Broglie got Nobel prize for their work on
A. the dual nature of particles
B. the wave nature of particles
C. the corpuscular nature of particles
D. all of the above
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Louis de Broglie was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the wave nature of particles, so the wave nature option is correct.

The isotope of iodine-131 is used in the treatment of:
A. Thyroid cancer
B. Lung tumor
C. Bone cancer
D. Blood cancer
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Iodine-131 is commonly used to treat thyroid disorders and thyroid cancer because it is selectively taken up by the thyroid gland.

The work function of a substance is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately
A. 310 nm
B. 540 nm
C. 220 nm
D. 400 nm
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
λ_max = hc/φ ≈ 1240 eV·nm / 4.0 eV ≈ 310 nm; hence 310 nm is the longest wavelength that can cause emission.
1598
The amount of photoelectric current depends upon:
A. Energy of incident photons
B. Intensity of light beam
C. Both (A) and (B)
D. Magnitude of stopping potential
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Photoelectric current is proportional to the number of emitted electrons, which depends on light intensity; photon energy affects individual electron energy, not current magnitude.
