Q61
An unstable heavy nucleus at rest breaks into two nuclei which move away with velocities in the ratio of 8 : 27. The ratio of the radii of the nuclei (assumed to be spherical) is :
A 8 : 27
B 4 : 9
C 3 : 2
D 2 : 3
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The two nuclei have velocity in ratio 8 : 27. By conservation of momentum, we have

m1v1=m2v2v1v2=m2m1m2m1=827{m_1}{v_1} = {m_2}{v_2} \Rightarrow {{{v_1}} \over {{v_2}}} = {{{m_2}} \over {{m_1}}} \Rightarrow {{{m_2}} \over {{m_1}}} = {8 \over {27}}

Now, since

m=ρ43πr3m = \rho {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}

Therefore,

m2m1=ρ43πr23ρ43πr13m2m1=(r2r1)3(r2r1)3=827{{{m_2}} \over {{m_1}}} = {{\rho {4 \over 3}\pi r_2^3} \over {\rho {4 \over 3}\pi r_1^3}} \Rightarrow {{{m_2}} \over {{m_1}}} = {\left( {{{{r_2}} \over {{r_1}}}} \right)^3} \Rightarrow {\left( {{{{r_2}} \over {{r_1}}}} \right)^3} = {8 \over {27}}
r2r1=23\Rightarrow {{{r_2}} \over {{r_1}}} = {2 \over 3}

Thus, ratio of radii of nuclei

r1:r2=3:2{r_1}:{r_2} = 3:2

.

Q62
At some instant, a radioactive sample S1 having an activity 5 μ\mu Ci has twice the number of nuclei as another sample S2 which has an activity of 10 μ\mu Ci. The half lives of S1 and S2 are :
A 20 years and 5 years, respectively
B 20 years and 10years, respectively
C 5 years and 20 years, respectively
D 10 years and 20 years, respectively
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

As per question, N1 = 2N2 Also A1 = 5 μ\muCi, A2 = 10 μ\muCi As A = λ\lambdaN =

ln2T1/2N{{\ln 2} \over {{T_{1/2}}}}N

\therefore

A1A2=(T1/2)2(T1/2)1×N1N2{{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}} = {{{{\left( {{T_{1/2}}} \right)}_2}} \over {{{\left( {{T_{1/2}}} \right)}_1}}} \times {{{N_1}} \over {{N_2}}}

\Rightarrow

(T1/2)1(T1/2)2=N1N2×A2A1{{{{\left( {{T_{1/2}}} \right)}_1}} \over {{{\left( {{T_{1/2}}} \right)}_2}}} = {{{N_1}} \over {{N_2}}} \times {{{A_2}} \over {{A_1}}}

= 2 ×\times 2 = 4 So half life of sample S1 should be four timrs than sample S2.

Q63
It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest, fractional loss of its energy is pd; while for its similar collision with carbon nucleus at rest, fractional loss of energy is pc. The values of pd and pc are respectively :
A (0, 1)
B (0.89, 0.28)
C (0.28, 0.89)
D (0, 0)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Applying conservation of momentum : mv + 0 = mv1 + 2mv2 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v = v1 + 2v2 . . . . . (1) As collision is elastic, So, coefficient of restitution, e = 1

\therefore\,\,\,

e = 1 =

velocityofseparationVelocityofapproach{{velocity\,\,of\,\,separation} \over {Velocity\,\,of\,\,approach}}

\Rightarrow

\,\,\,

1 =

v2v1v0{{{v_2} - {v_1}} \over {v - 0}}

\Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v = v2 - v1 . . . . .(2) Add (1) and (2), 2v = 3v2 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v2 =

2v3{{2v} \over 3}

put value of v2 in equation (1), v1 = v - 2v2 = v -

4v3{{4v} \over 3}

= -

v3{v \over 3}
\therefore\,\,\,

Fractional loss of energy of neutron. Pd =

kikfki{{{k_i} - {k_f}} \over {{k_i}}}

=

12mv212mv1212mv2{{{1 \over 2}m{v^2} - {1 \over 2}mv_1^2} \over {{1 \over 2}m{v^2}}}

=

v2v29v2{{{v^2} - {{{v^2}} \over 9}} \over {{v^2}}}

=

89{8 \over 9}

= 0.89 Applying momentum of conservation, mv + 0 = mv1 + 12mv2 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v = v1 + 12v2 . . . . . (3) Here also e = 1

\therefore\,\,\,

e = 1 =

v2v1v0{{{v_2} - v{}_1} \over {v - 0}}

\Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v = v2 - v1 . . . . . . (4) adding (3) and (4), we get 2v = 13v2 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

v2 =

2v13{{2v} \over {13}}

put this v2 in equation (3), we get v1 = v - 12 ×\times

2v13{{2v} \over {13}}

= -

11v13{{11v} \over {13}}
\therefore\,\,\,

Frictional loss pc =

12mv212m(1113v)212mv2{{{1 \over 2}m{v^2} - {1 \over 2}m{{\left( {{{11} \over {13}}v} \right)}^2}} \over {{1 \over 2}m{v^2}}}

=

48169{{48} \over {169}}

= 0.28

Q64
The energy required to remove the electron from a singly ionized Helium atom is 2.22.2 times the energies required to remove an electron from Helium atom. The total energy required to ionize the Helium atom completely is :
A 2020 eVeV
B 3434 eVeV
C 7979 eVeV
D 109109 eVeV
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Energy required to remove e- from singly ionized Helium atom E1 =

13.6z2n2{{13.6{z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

=

13.6×2212{{13.6 \times {2^2}} \over {{1^2}}}

= 54.4 eV. Let, E2 = energy required to remove e-from He - atom

\therefore\,\,\,\,

According to q vertion. E1 = 2.2 E2

\therefore\,\,\,\,

E2 =

54.42.2{{54.4} \over {2.2}}

= 24.72 eV

\therefore\,\,\,\,

Total energy required to ionize Helium atom completely = (54.4 + 24.72) eV = 79.12 eV

Q65
Two radioactive materials A and B have decay constants 10λ\lambda and λ\lambda , respectively. It initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of A to that of B will be 1/e after a time :
A 1/9λ\lambda
B 11/10λ\lambda
C 1/10λ\lambda
D 1/11λ\lambda
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

N1 = N0e–10λ\lambdat ; N2 = N0e–λ\lambdat

1e=N1N2=e9λt{1 \over e} = {{{N_1}} \over {{N_2}}} = {e^{ - 9\lambda t}}
9λt=1\Rightarrow 9\lambda t = 1
t=19λ\Rightarrow t = {1 \over {9\lambda }}

When the ion gets deexcited to the ground state in all possible ways (including intermediate emissions), a total of six spectral lines are observed. What is the value of λ\lambda ? (Given : H = 6.63 × 10–34 Js; c = 3 × 108 ms –1)
A 10.8 nm
B 12.3 nm
C 9.4 nm
D 11.4 nm
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
hcλ=13.6ev(g){1116}{{hc} \over \lambda } = 13.6\,ev(g)\left\{ {1 - {1 \over {16}}} \right\}
1240eVλ=1516×9×13.6eV{{1240\,eV} \over \lambda } = {{15} \over {16}} \times 9 \times 13.6\,eV
λ=1240×1615×9×13.6=10.8nm\lambda = {{1240 \times 16} \over {15 \times 9 \times 13.6}} = 10.8\,nm
Q67

The quantum number n, corresponding to its initial excited state is (for photon of wavelength λ\lambda , energy E=1240eVλ(innm)E = {{1240\,eV} \over {\lambda (in\,nm)}}) :
A n = 4
B n = 7
C n = 5
D n = 6
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
ΔEn=E0Z2n2\Delta {E_n} = - {{{E_0}{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

Let it start from n to m and from m to ground. Then

13.6×411m2=hc30.4nm13.6 \times 4\left| {1 - {1 \over {{m^2}}}} \right| = {{hc} \over {30.4\,nm}}
11m2=0.74980.25=1m2\Rightarrow 1 - {1 \over {{m^2}}} = 0.7498 \Rightarrow 0.25 = {1 \over {{m^2}}}

\therefore m = 2, and now

13.6×4(141n2)=hc108.5×10913.6 \times 4\left( {{1 \over 4} - {1 \over {{n^2}}}} \right) = {{hc} \over {108.5 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}

n = 5

Q68
Consider an electron in a hydrogen atom revolving in its second excited state (having radius 4.65 Ao\mathop A\limits^o ). The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron is :
A 6.6 Ao\mathop A\limits^o
B 3.5 Ao\mathop A\limits^o
C 9.7 Ao\mathop A\limits^o
D 12.9 Ao\mathop A\limits^o
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

For second excited state n = 3

mvr=3h2πmvr = {{3h} \over {2\pi }}

........(1)

mv=hλmv = {h \over \lambda }

.........(2) Dividing (1) by (2), we get

r=3λ2πr = {{3\lambda } \over {2\pi }}

\Rightarrow

λ=2πr3\lambda = {{2\pi r} \over 3}

=

2×3.14×4.653{{2 \times 3.14 \times 4.65} \over 3}

= 9.7

Ao\mathop A\limits^o
Q69
The electron in a hydrogen atom first jumps from the third excited state to the second excited state and subsequently to the first excited state. The ratio of the respective wavelengths, λ1λ2{{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}}, of the photons emitted in this process is :
A 225{{22} \over 5}
B 75{7 \over 5}
C 97{9 \over 7}
D 207{{20} \over 7}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

n = 1 (Ground state) n = 2 (First excitate state) n = 3 (Second excitate state) n = 4 (Third excitate state)

hcλ1=13.6(19116){{hc} \over {{\lambda _1}}} = 13.6\left( {{1 \over 9} - {1 \over {16}}} \right)
hcλ2=13.6(1419){{hc} \over {{\lambda _2}}} = 13.6\left( {{1 \over 4} - {1 \over 9}} \right)
λ2λ1=(79×16)(59×4){{{\lambda _2}} \over {{\lambda _1}}} = {{\left( {{7 \over {9 \times 16}}} \right)} \over {\left( {{5 \over {9 \times 4}}} \right)}}

=

720{7 \over {20}}

\therefore

λ1λ2=207{{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}} = {{20} \over 7}
