Correct Option
Explanation
Least energetic Lyman photon is n=2→1: λ = 1/[R(1−1/4)] = 4/(3R) ≈ 1.215×10⁻7 m ≈ 122 nm.

Correct Option
Explanation
An alpha particle (helium nucleus) becomes a neutral helium atom by capturing two electrons, so option B is correct.

Nuclei with odd number of protons plus electrons should have:
A. Integral spins
B. Half-integral spins
C. Both integral and half-integral spins
D. None of these

Correct Option
Explanation
Odd-A nuclei typically have half-integer total spin, so half-integral spins is correct.

The half-life of 40K is 12.5 hours. If the original sample of it contained 256 gm, the amount of 40K after 100 hours will be:
A. 2.56 gm
B. 2.00 gm
C. 1.00 gm
D. 5.12 gm

Correct Option
Explanation
100/12.5 = 8 half-lives, so remaining = 256 × (1/2)^8 = 256/256 = 1.00 gm.

Correct Option
Explanation
Relativistic mass increases with speed and would grow without bound as v approaches c, so it is greater than the rest mass.
