Q81
The energy required to ionise a hydrogen like ion in its ground state is 9 Rydbergs. What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when the electron in this ion jumps from the second excited state to the ground state ?
A 35.8 nm
B 11.4 nm
C 8.6 nm
D 24.2 nm
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

So, ionisation energy = (13.6 Z2) eV = 9 ×\times 13.6 eV

1λ=RZ2(112132){1 \over \lambda } = R{Z^2}\left( {{1 \over {{1^2}}} - {1 \over {{3^2}}}} \right)

= 1.09 ×\times 107 ×\times 9 ×\times

89{8 \over 9}

= 11.4 nm

Q82
In a reactor, 2 kg of 92U235 fuel is fully used up in 30 days. The energy released per fission is 200 MeV. Given that the Avogadro number, N = 6.023 × \times 1026 per kilo mole and 1 eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J. The power output of the reactor is close to
A 125 MW
B 60 MW
C 54 MW
D 35 MW
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Number of uranium atoms in 2 kg =

2×6.023×1026235{{2 \times 6.023 \times {{10}^{26}}} \over {235}}

Energy from one atom is 200 × 106 e.V. hence total energy from 2 kg uranium =

2×6.023×1026235×200×106{{2 \times 6.023 \times {{10}^{26}}} \over {235}} \times 200 \times {10^6}

eV =

2×6.023×1026235×200×106{{2 \times 6.023 \times {{10}^{26}}} \over {235}} \times 200 \times {10^6}

×\times 1.6 × 10–19 J 2 kg uranium is used in 30 days hence energy received per second or power is Power =

2×6.023×1026×200×106×1.6×1019235×30×24×3600{{2 \times 6.023 \times {{10}^{26}} \times 200 \times {{10}^6} \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}} \over {235 \times 30 \times 24 \times 3600}}

= 63.2 × 106 watt or 63.2 Mega Watt

\simeq

60 MW

Q83
In a hydrogen atom the electron makes a transition from (n + 1)th level to the nth level. If n >> 1, the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to :
A 1n{1 \over n}
B 1n2{1 \over {{n^2}}}
C 1n3{1 \over {{n^3}}}
D 1n4{1 \over {{n^4}}}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

In hydrogen atom, En =

E0n2{{ - {E_0}} \over {{n^2}}}

Where E0 is Ionisation Energy of H.

For transition from (n + 1) to n, the energy of emitted radiation is equal to the difference in energies of levels.

Δ\Delta

E = En+1 - En =

E0(1n2+1(n+1)2){E_0}\left( {{1 \over {{n^2}}} + {1 \over {{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^2}}}} \right)

=

E0((n+1)2n2n2(n+1)2){E_0}\left( {{{{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^2} - {n^2}} \over {{n^2}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^2}}}} \right)

= E0

(2n+1n4(1+1n)2)\left( {{{2n + 1} \over {{n^4}{{\left( {1 + {1 \over n}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)

= E0

(n(2+1n)n4(1+1n)2)\left( {{{n\left( {2 + {1 \over n}} \right)} \over {{n^4}{{\left( {1 + {1 \over n}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)

Since n >>> 1 Hence,

1n0{{1 \over n} \simeq 0}

=

E0(2n3){E_0}\left( {{2 \over {{n^3}}}} \right)

As

Δ\Delta

E = hν\nu \therefore hν\nu =

E0(2n3){E_0}\left( {{2 \over {{n^3}}}} \right)

\Rightarrow ν\nu \propto

1n3{1 \over {{n^3}}}
Q84
The magnetic moment of an electron (e) revolving in an orbit around nucleus with an orbital angular momentum is given by :
A μL=eL2 m \vec{\mu}_{\mathrm{L}}=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{\mathrm{eL}}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}
B μL=eL2 m\vec{\mu}_{\mathrm{L}}=-\dfrac{\overrightarrow{\mathrm{eL}}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}
C μl=eL m\vec{\mu}_{l}=-\dfrac{\overrightarrow{e L}}{\mathrm{~m}}
D μl=2eLm \vec{\mu}_{l}=\dfrac{2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{eL}}}{\mathrm{m}}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

\because

μ=qL2m\overrightarrow \mu = {{q\overrightarrow L } \over {2m}}
μ=eL2m\Rightarrow \overrightarrow \mu = {{ - e\overrightarrow L } \over {2m}}
Q85
The radius R of a nucleus of mass number A can be estimated by the formula R = (1.3 × \times 10–15)A1/3 m. It follows that the mass density of a nucleus is of the order of : (Mprot. \cong Mneut \simeq 1.67 × \times 10–27 kg)
A 1024 kg m–3
B 1010 kg m–3
C 1017 kg m–3
D 103 kg m–3
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
R=(1.3×1015)A13R = (1.3 \times {10^{ - 15}}){A^{{1 \over 3}}}

We know,

m=pVm = pV

\Rightarrow

p=mVp = {m \over V}

\Rightarrow

p=mpA43πR3p = {{{m_p}A} \over {{4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}}}
p=mpA43π×(1.3×1015)3Ap = {{{m_p}A} \over {{4 \over 3}\pi \times {{(1.3 \times {{10}^{ - 15}})}^3}A}}
p1017kg/mp \approx {10^{17}}kg/m
Q86
According to Bohr atomic model, in which of the following transitions will the frequency be maximum?
A n = 2 to n = 1
B n = 3 to n = 2
C n = 4 to n = 3
D n = 5 to n = 4
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Let, nf, ni be the final and initial orbit. As we know that,

1λ=1.09×107[1nf21ni2]{1 \over \lambda } = 1.09 \times {10^7}\left[ {{1 \over {n_f^2}} - {1 \over {n_i^2}}} \right]

Now, checking for each option, we get (a)

1λ[132142]=[19116]=0.05{1 \over \lambda } \propto \left[ {{1 \over {{3^2}}} - {1 \over {{4^2}}}} \right] = \left[ {{1 \over 9} - {1 \over {16}}} \right] = 0.05

.... (i) (b)

1λ[1114]=0.75{1 \over \lambda } \propto \left[ {{1 \over 1} - {1 \over 4}} \right] = 0.75

.... (ii) (c)

1λ[116125]=0.0225{1 \over \lambda } \propto \left[ {{1 \over {16}} - {1 \over {25}}} \right] = 0.0225

.... (iii) (d)

1λ[1419]=0.14{1 \over \lambda } \propto \left[ {{1 \over 4} - {1 \over 9}} \right] = 0.14

.... (iv) The option (b) has highest value. Since, frequency,

f=cλf1λf = {c \over \lambda } \Rightarrow f \propto {1 \over \lambda }

\therefore Frequency will be maximum for transition n = 2 to n = 1.

Q87
Two radioactive substances X and Y originally have N1 and N2 nuclei respectively. Half life of X is half of the half life of Y. After three half lives of Y, number of nuclei of both are equal. The ratio N1N2{{{N_1}} \over {{N_2}}} will be equal to :
A 18{1 \over 8}
B 31{3 \over 1}
C 13{1 \over 3}
D 81{8 \over 1}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let Half life of x = t then half life of y = 2t when 3 half life of y is completed then 6 half life of x is completed.

\therefore Now x have =

N126{{{N_1}} \over {{2^6}}}

nuclei and y have =

N223{{{N_2}} \over {{2^3}}}

nuclei From question,

N126=N223{{{N_1}} \over {{2^6}}} = {{{N_2}} \over {{2^3}}}
N1N2=8\Rightarrow {{{N_1}} \over {{N_2}}} = 8
Q88
If λ\lambda1 and λ\lambda2 are the wavelengths of the third member of Lyman and first member of the Paschen series respectively, then the value of λ\lambda1 : λ\lambda2 is :
A 7 : 135
B 7 : 108
C 1 : 9
D 1 : 3
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

For Lyman series n1 = 1, n2 = 4

1λ1=R[112142]{1 \over {{\lambda _1}}} = R\left[ {{1 \over {{1^2}}} - {1 \over {{4^2}}}} \right]

For paschen series n1 = 3, n2 = 4

1λ2=R[132142]{1 \over {{\lambda _2}}} = R\left[ {{1 \over {{3^2}}} - {1 \over {{4^2}}}} \right]

\therefore

λ1λ2=[19116][1116]=79×15{{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}} = {{\left[ {{1 \over 9} - {1 \over {16}}} \right]} \over {\left[ {1 - {1 \over {16}}} \right]}} = {7 \over {9 \times 15}}

\Rightarrow

λ1λ2=7135{{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}} = {7 \over {135}}
Q89
A radioactive sample is undergoing α\alpha decay. At any time t1, its activity is A and another time t2, the activity is A5{A \over 5}. What is the average life time for the sample?
A ln5t2t1{{\ln 5} \over {{t_2} - {t_1}}}
B ln(t2+t1)2{{\ln ({t_2} + {t_1})} \over 2}
C t1t2ln5{{{t_1} - {t_2}} \over {\ln 5}}
D t2t1ln5{{{t_2} - {t_1}} \over {\ln 5}}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let initial activity be A0 A = A0 e-λ\lambdat1 ........(i)

A5{A \over 5}

= A0 e-λ\lambdat2 .......(ii) (i)

÷\div

(ii) 5 = eλ\lambda(t2 - t1) λ\lambda =

ln5t2t1=1τ{{\ln 5} \over {{t_2} - {t_1}}} = {1 \over \tau }
τ=t2t1ln5\tau = {{{t_2} - {t_1}} \over {\ln 5}}
Q90
Calculate the time interval between 33% decay and 67% decay if half-life of a substance is 20 minutes.
A 40 minutes
B 60 minutes
C 13 minutes
D 20 minutes
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
T1/2=20ln2λ=20{T_{1/2}} = 20 \Rightarrow {{\ln 2} \over \lambda } = 20

min

λ=ln220(min)\Rightarrow \lambda = {{\ln 2} \over {20(\min )}}

\because

Nt=N0eλt{N_t} = {N_0}{e^{ - \lambda t}}
NtN0=eλt10.67=eλt1{{{N_t}} \over {{N_0}}} = {e^{ - \lambda {t_1}}} \Rightarrow 0.67 = {e^{ - \lambda {t_1}}}
ln(0.67)=λt1\Rightarrow \ln (0.67) = - \lambda {t_1}
ln(10067)=λt1\Rightarrow \ln \left( {{{100} \over {67}}} \right) = \lambda {t_1}
t1=ln(10067)×20(min)(ln2)\Rightarrow {t_1} = {{\ln \left( {{{100} \over {67}}} \right) \times 20(\min )} \over {(\ln 2)}}

Similarly,

t2=ln(10034)×20(min)(ln2){t_2} = {{\ln \left( {{{100} \over {34}}} \right) \times 20(\min )} \over {(\ln 2)}}
t2t1=19.57{t_2} - {t_1} = 19.57

min

20\approx 20
