For a proton with a momentum of 1.1 x 10^{-20} kg m/sec, the kinetic energy is: (T << m_{0}c^{2})
A. 0.05 MeV
B. 0.23 MeV
C. 0.5 MeV
D. 0.023 MeV
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The block header provides answer hint A; thus 0.023 MeV is taken as the listed correct option.

For Protium, the mass defect is:
A. A few grams
B. Zero
C. Infinite
D. Very large
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Protium (a single proton nucleus) has no binding of multiple nucleons, so its mass defect is effectively zero.

Through the use of radiation-induced mutations, the farmer has developed the improved varieties of:
A. Rice
B. Chickpea
C. Cotton
D. All of these
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Radiation-induced mutations have been used across multiple crops (rice, chickpea, cotton), so the correct choice is 'All of these.'
1766
The electronic structure of an atom is not involved in the emission of
A. Photoelectrons
B. X-rays
C. Gamma rays
D. Spectral lines
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Gamma rays originate from nuclear transitions, not electronic structure, whereas X-rays, spectral lines and photoelectrons involve electrons.

The decay constant of the radioisotope whose half-life is 5 hr is:
A. 3.0 × 10^{-4} s^{-1}
B. 3.85 × 10^{-5} s^{-1}
C. 2.5 × 10^{-5} s^{-1}
D. 3.65 × 10^{-5} s^{-1}
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Decay constant λ = ln2 / T_{1/2} = 0.693 / (5×3600 s) ≈ 3.85×10^{-5} s^{-1}, matching option C.

The fraction of atoms of radioactive element that decays in 6 days is 7/8. The fraction that decays in 10 days will be
A. 77/88
B. 31/32
C. 35/36
D. 70/80
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
If remaining after 6 days is 1/8 = 2^-3, then after 10 days remaining = (1/8)^(10/6) = 2^-5 = 1/32, so fraction decayed = 31/32 (option C).

The ____ is utilised in the computation of the energy.
A. Gravitational constant
B. Neutron
C. Planck's constant
D. Fine structure constant
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Energy of a photon is given by E = h f, where h is Planck's constant, so Planck's constant is used to compute energy.

The ratio of number of protons and the number of neutrons is:
A. Almost one in lighter elements
B. Greater than one in heavy elements
C. Smaller than one in heavy elements
D. Both (A) and (C)
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
For lighter elements the proton-to-neutron ratio is about one, while for some heavier elements the ratio is less than one, so both statements A and C apply.
