2251
An increase in frequency above threshold frequency results in
A. decrease in K.E. of electrons
B. decrease in photoelectric current
C. increase in K.E. of electrons
D. increase in photoelectric current
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Above threshold, higher photon frequency increases the kinetic energy of emitted electrons, not the current (which depends on intensity).

The particles equal in mass or greater than proton are called:
A. Baryons
B. Mesons
C. Both (A) and (B)
D. Positron
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Baryons (like protons and neutrons) have masses comparable to or greater than the proton; mesons are generally lighter and positron is a lepton.
2253

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Zirconia is a ceramic, not a polymeric solid; polythene, nylon, and synthetic rubber are polymers.

The π-meson has the same charge as the electron, but a greater mass μ = 207 m. Use Bohr theory to find the radius of a π-mesonic atom with nucleus of charge Ze orbited by the π as compared to the radius of the hydrogen-like atom:
A. r_π = 207^2 r_H
B. r_π = 207 r_H
C. r_π = r_H/207
D. r_π = r_H
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Bohr radius scales inversely with orbiting particle mass, so a particle 207 times heavier gives a radius smaller by factor 207, i.e., r_H/207.
2256
A radioactive isotope has a half-life of 2 minutes. What can be deduced from this statement?
A. After 4 minutes, none of the isotope remains
B. After 4 minutes, 1/4 of the isotope remains
C. After 1 minute, 1/4 of the isotope remains
D. After 1/2 minute, 1/4 of the isotope remains
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
After two half-lives (4 minutes) the remaining fraction is (1/2)^2 = 1/4.
2257
Mass-energy relation means that the product of mass times the square of the speed of light must be equal to
A. torque
B. impulse
C. momentum
D. energy
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Einstein's relation E = mc^2 equates mass times c^2 to energy, so option D is correct.
2258

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Planck introduced the idea that energy is quantized in discrete packets called quanta.
2259
The energy in electron volts necessary to remove the most loosely bound electron from the neutral atom is known as
A. Faraday energy
B. excitation potential
C. ionization potential
D. wave number
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The required energy to remove the most loosely bound electron is called the ionization potential (ionization energy), so option C is correct.
