If in a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1 and m2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus be m3, then
A. m3 > (m1 + m2)
B. m3 = |m1 - m2|
C. m3 < (m1 + m2)
D. m3 = m1 + m2
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In fusion the mass of the product is less than the sum of the reactants (mass defect) with the missing mass released as energy, so m3 < m1 + m2.

152. Many types of food contain:
A. Potassium-40
B. C-14
C. Lithium
D. Both (A) and (B)
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Foods commonly contain naturally occurring radioactive isotopes such as potassium-40 and carbon-14; the OCR shows a mark by 'Both (A) and (B)'.

A gamma ray photon creates an electron-positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is 0.5 MeV and the total kinetic energy of the electron-positron pair is 0.78 MeV, then the energy of the gamma ray photon must be
A. 1.78 MeV
B. 0.78 MeV
C. 0.28 MeV
D. 1.28 MeV
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Photon energy = 2·(rest mass energy 0.5 MeV) + kinetic energy 0.78 MeV = 1.78 MeV, so option B is correct.

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The OCR shows a marker next to option A and hyperons are indeed particles heavier than protons.

Nuclear force exists between
A. proton-proton
B. neutron-neutron
C. neutron-proton
D. all of these
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The strong (nuclear) force acts between all nucleon pairs: proton-proton, neutron-neutron and neutron-proton, so 'all of these' is correct.

What will be the excitation energy in the third orbit of hydrogen atom?
A. 0.85 eV
B. 3.4 eV
C. 0.66 eV
D. 1.5 eV
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The energy of the n=3 level is -13.6/9 ≈ -1.51 eV, so its excitation (ionization from n=3) corresponds to about 1.51 eV.
