122. The neutron produced in a fission reaction are:
A. Very fast and less energetic
B. Very slow and less energetic
C. Very fast and more energetic
D. Both (B) and (C)
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Neutrons produced in fission are fast and carry significant kinetic energy, so 'Very fast and more energetic' is correct.
2125
The continuous X-rays spectrum is obtained due to
A. breaking potential
B. deceleration of impact electrons
C. excitation potential
D. ionization potential
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The continuous spectrum is produced when incident electrons decelerate upon hitting the target, i.e., deceleration of impact electrons.

50. The electronic structure of atom is not involved in the emission of
A. Photoelectrons
B. Gamma rays
C. X-rays
D. Spectral lines
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Gamma emission arises from the nucleus and does not involve atomic electronic structure, so option A is correct.

The number of neutrons present in 6 g of C-12 is
A. 1.8 × 10^22
B. 1.8 × 10^23
C. 1.8 × 10^25
D. 1.8 × 10^24
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
6 g of C-12 is 0.5 mol → 0.5×6.022×10^23 atoms ≈ 3.01×10^23 atoms; each atom has 6 neutrons → ≈1.81×10^24 neutrons, matching option C.
2128
Cs-137 is chosen to determine the thickness of steel pipe walls because it emits
A. a-particles
B. y-rays
C. radiowaves
D. ß-particles
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Cs-137 emits gamma (γ) rays, which are penetrating and suitable for thickness gauging, so option D is correct.

The nuclei C-12 and N-13 can be described as
A. Isobars
B. Isotopes of carbon
C. Isotopes of nitrogen
D. Isotones
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
C-12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons) and N-13 (7 protons, 6 neutrons) have the same number of neutrons (6), so they are isotones.
