The gravitational force between H-atom and another particle of mass m will be given by Newton's law \(F=\frac{GMm}{r^2},\) where r is
in km and
1. | M=mproton+melectron. |
2. | M=mproton+melectron-\(\frac{B}{c^2}\) ( B=13.6 eV ). |
3. | M is not related to the mass of the hydrogen atom. |
4. | M=mproton+melectron-\(\frac{|V|}{c^2}\) ( |V| = magnitude of the potential energy of electron in the H-atom). |
When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a radioactive decay, the electronic energy levels of the atom:
1. | do not change for any type of radioactivity |
2. | change for α and β -radioactivity but not for γ -radioactivity |
3. | change for α -radioactivity but not for others |
4. | change for β -radioactivity but not for others |
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus triton contains 2 neutrons and 1 proton. Free neutrons decay into . If one of the neutrons in Triton decays, it would transform into He3 nucleus. This does not happen. This is because;
1. | triton energy is less than that of a He3 nucleus |
2. | the electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus |
3. | both the neutrons in Triton have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with 3 protons, which is not a He3 nucleus. |
4. | free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in Triton nucleus |
Mx and My denote the atomic masses of the parent and the daughter nuclei respectively in radioactive decay. The Q-value for a decay is Q1 and that for a decay is Q2. If denotes the mass of an electron, then which of the following statements is correct?
1.
2.
3.
4.
In a nuclear reactor, moderators slow down the neutrons which come out in a fission process. The moderator used have light nuclei. Heavy nuclei will not serve the purpose, because:
1. | they will break up |
2. | elastic collision of neutrons with heavy nuclei will not slow them down |
3. | the net weight of the reactor would be unbearably high |
4. | substances with heavy nuclei do not occur in the liquid or gaseous state at room temperature |
Fusion processes, like combining two deuterons to form a \(\mathrm{He}\)-nucleus are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressure. The reasons for this can be traced to the fact:
(a) | nuclear forces have short-range |
(b) | nuclei are positively charged |
(c) | the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fusion can take place |
(d) | the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other |
1. (a, c)
2. (a, d)
3. (b, d)
4. (a, b)
