Correct Option
Explanation
A common classification lists three broad types of reactors (e.g., research, power, and propulsion reactors), hence three is often the expected answer in basic MCQs.
1683
A proton is not deflected in passing through a certain region. It is because
A. There is no magnetic field in the region
B. The electric and magnetic fields in the region have the same direction
C. There is a magnetic field but velocity of the proton is parallel to the direction of magnetic field
D. None of the above
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
If the proton's velocity is parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic force q(v × B) is zero, so it will not be deflected.

If the operating potential of an X-ray tube is 50 kV the velocity of X-rays coming out of it is
A. 3 m/s
B. 10^8 m/s
C. 4 × 10^4 m/s
D. 3 × 10^8 m/s

151. Radioactive radon gas enters buildings from the:
A. Air
B. Human respiration
C. Ground
D. Water
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Radon is produced in the Earth's crust and seeps from the ground into buildings, so 'Ground' is the source.

Correct Option
Explanation
After two mean lives mass = m0 e^{-2} = 10×e^{-2} ≈ 10×0.1353 ≈ 1.35 gm.

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The described concept is time dilation, where moving clocks are observed to run slower.
1688

Mosley's law establishes the X-rays fluorescencies of target element with its
A. atomic weight
B. atomic number
C. density
D. lattice constant
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Moseley's law relates characteristic X-ray frequencies to the atomic number of elements, so atomic number is correct.
