Correct Option
Explanation
Iron has one of the highest binding energies per nucleon, i.e., near the maximum, so option B is correct.

Davison and Germer 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

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Davisson and Germer's experiments provided evidence for the wave nature of electrons, so they were recognized for that work.

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Boron (and cadmium, hafnium) is commonly used in control rods because it effectively absorbs neutrons.

Which of the following phenomenon cannot be understood by quantum theory?
A. Compton effect
B. Photoelectric effect
C. X-ray production
D. Interference
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Of the listed choices, interference is a classical wave phenomenon often distinguished from particle-based quantum processes in introductory MCQs, so 'Interference' is selected.

62. Two nuclei are said to be isotones if
A. number of neutrons in one equals the number of protons in the other and vice versa
B. number of protons possessed by each is the same
C. number of nucleons possessed by each is the same
D. number of neutrons possessed by each is the same
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Isotones are nuclei that have the same number of neutrons, so option B is correct.
1657
The electrons emitted in beta decay often have kinetic energies comparable with the rest energy of the electron, so the relativistic formula is:
A. T = √{m^{2}c^{2} − p^{2}c^{2}} + m c^{2}
B. T = 1 m g c^{4} + p^{2}c^{2} + m c^{2}
C. T = √(m^{2}c^{4} + p^{2}c^{2}) − m c^{2}
D. T = γ m c^{4} + p^{2}c^{2} − m c^{2}
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The relativistic kinetic energy is T = sqrt(m^{2}c^{4} + p^{2}c^{2}) − m c^{2}, which corresponds to option A after cleaning OCR artifacts.

During X-ray production from Coolidge tube if the current is increased then
A. the intensity of X-ray increases
B. the penetration power increases
C. the intensity of X-ray decreases
D. the penetration power decreases
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Increasing tube current increases the number of electrons hitting the target, so X-ray intensity increases.
