135. In the fission of uranium, binding energy per nucleon of the fission fragments (say Kr, Ba) is:
A. Much smaller than that of uranium
B. Equal to that of uranium
C. Smaller than that of uranium
D. Greater than that of uranium
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Fission fragments have higher binding energy per nucleon than the heavy parent nucleus, which is why energy is released, so option A is correct.

66. Of the three basic forces, gravitational, electrostatic and nuclear, which two are able to provide an attractive force between two neutrons?
A. Gravitational and nuclear
B. Some other forces like Van der Waals
C. Electrostatic and nuclear
D. Electrostatic and gravitational
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Neutrons experience the strong (nuclear) force and, very weakly, gravity; electrostatic forces do not act on neutral neutrons, so option C is correct.

Which of the following does not have the velocity equal to that of light?
A. α-particles
B. γ-rays
C. EM waves
D. Radio waves

Correct Option
Explanation
Radio waves, γ-rays and EM waves are electromagnetic and travel at light speed; α-particles are massive and travel much slower.

128. The bottom of old salt mines can be used to store the nuclear waste because they are:
A. Wet
B. Very dry
C. Thousands of metres below the surface of earth
D. Both (B) and (C)
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Old salt mines are chosen for waste storage because they are very dry and deep underground, so both (B) and (C) is correct.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about the Bohr theory of the hydrogen-like atom with nuclear charge Ze and reduced mass μ?
A. The energy eigenvalue is proportional to μ.
B. The energy eigenvalue is proportional to 1/n^2.
C. The energy eigenvalue depends on l(l + 1).
D. The radius of the electron orbit is proportional to n^2.
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In Bohr theory energy depends only on n (∝1/n^2) and on μ, not on l(l+1); thus statement A is not true.

The essential distinction between X-rays and γ-rays is that
A. γ-rays are more penetrating than X-rays
B. γ-rays emanate from nucleus while X-rays emanate from outer part of the atom
C. γ-rays have smaller wavelength than X-rays
D. X-rays have greater ionizing power than γ-rays
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The primary distinction is their origin: γ-rays originate in the nucleus, whereas X-rays arise from electronic transitions or deceleration of electrons.

Atomic spectroscopy relates the wavelengths of the observed spectral lines of a substance to a mathematical formula. Given the Rydberg constant for hydrogen R = 109,677.6 cm^-1, find the lower limit for the Paschen series:
A. 8206 Å
B. 2280 nm
C. 1460 nm
D. 912 Å

If [A, B] = 0, then two operators A & B are said to be:
A. Anticommute
B. Do not commute
C. Commute
D. None of these
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
If the commutator [A,B] is zero, the operators commute, so 'Commute' is correct.

80. An atom has filled n = 1 and n = 2 levels. How many electrons does the atom have?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 6
D. 10
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The n=1 shell holds 2 electrons and n=2 holds 8, so a filled n=1 and n=2 total 10 electrons.
