In order to reduce uncertainty in momentum, one must use light of
A. wavelength of any value
B. large wavelength
C. short wavelength
D. wavelength of intermediate value
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
To reduce uncertainty in momentum Δp, one increases position uncertainty Δx; using longer-wavelength light localizes less precisely and thus reduces momentum disturbance.

92 U238, on absorbing a neutron becomes:
A. 92 U240
B. 92 U233
C. 92 U237
D. 92 U239
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
When U-238 absorbs a neutron it becomes U-239 (mass number increases by one), corresponding to option C.
2233

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The OCR answer key marks option A; the text gives the deuteron binding energy as 2.8 MeV.
2235
The practical blackbody is a
A. circular silver disk painted black
B. glass bulb coated with lamp black
C. hollow sphere with the inside coated black and with a small hole at the surface
D. polished copper sphere with a small black part
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
A practical blackbody is often a hollow cavity with its interior coated black and a small aperture, approximating ideal absorption/emission.

A hydrogen-like ionic atom has wavelength equal to 1/4 of the wavelength of hydrogen lines. The ion will be
A. Li++
B. He+
C. Na++
D. Ne++
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Wavelength scales as 1/Z^2; 1/4 = 1/Z^2 implies Z=2, which corresponds to He+.

41. Of the following, the most stable nucleus
A. U240
B. C14
C. Fe56
D. Pu244
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Iron-56 (Fe56) is among the most tightly bound and thus most stable nuclei, so option D is correct.
2238
In a Rutherford Scattering experiment, 10 MeV α-particles are scattered by a gold foil 0.1 μm thick into a detector whose sensitive area is 10 cm^2 which is placed 50 cm from the target and makes an angle of 45° with the incident beam. Calculate the differential cross-section in the center of mass system in barns (b) per steradian (sr).
A. 2.65 b/sr
B. 1.04 b/sr
C. 15.1 b/sr
D. 3.78 b/sr
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The problem statement and provided answer hint indicate use of the Rutherford scattering formula and the block's answer key gives option D as the computed differential cross-section.
2239
An electron is moving in first orbit. The factor h/2π is:
A. Its angular momentum
B. Energy
C. Linear momentum
D. None of these
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In Bohr model the fundamental quantum of angular momentum is h/2π, so h/2π corresponds to angular momentum.

The equation represents actinium decaying to thorium AC-80 Th + Y 229. What particle does Y represent?
A. A helium nucleus
B. An atom
C. An electron
D. A neutron
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Decay from actinium to thorium typically involves emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus), so option C is correct.
