Correct Option
Explanation
With f = 6×10^8 MHz = 6×10^14 Hz, λ = c/f ≈ 3×10^8 / 6×10^14 = 5×10^-7 m = 500 nm.

Correct Option
Explanation
A spectrometer designed to measure beta particles' energies is called a beta-ray spectrometer; the OCR indicates option D.

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
A moderator reduces neutron energy via collisions without capturing them, which matches option A.

A neutron with an initial K.E. of 2.21 MeV collides with a stationary proton and is deflected by 45°. It then suffers more collisions with stationary protons getting deflected at each collision by 45°. Its energy will reduce to one millionth of its initial energy after a certain number of collisions. That number is:
A. 500
B. 10
C. 100
D. 20
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Each collision keeps fraction cos²45° = 0.5 of energy, so (1/2)^n = 10⁻6 ⇒ n ≈ 20.

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The Rutherford α-scattering experiment provided evidence for the nuclear atom model with a small concentrated positive nucleus.
1988
In Wilson cloud chamber, B-particles leave:
A. No tracks
B. Thin and discontinuous tracks
C. Thick and continuous tracks
D. Thick and discontinuous tracks
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Beta particles are less ionizing than alpha particles and therefore leave thinner and often discontinuous tracks in the chamber.
1989
The ratio between kinetic energy and total energy of the electron of hydrogen atom according to Bohr's model is
A. 1 : 1
B. 1 : -1
C. 2 : 1
D. 1 : 2
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In the Bohr model, kinetic energy = -total energy (E_total is negative), so KE : E_total = 1 : -1.
