Answer- b
Explanation- F=GMm/r2
M=effective mass of hydrogen atom=mass of electron +mass of proton -B2/c
B.E of hydrogen atom = 13.6eV
Suppose we consider a large number of containers each containing initially 10000 atoms of a radioactive material with a half life of 1 year. After 1 year,
(a) All the containers will have 5000 atoms of the material
(b) All the containers will contain the same number of atoms of the material but that number will only be approximately 5000
(c) The containers will in general have different numbers of the atoms of the material but their average will be close to 5000
(d) None of the containers can have more than 5000 atoms

Answer (c)
Explanation- it is a process in which metal decays spontaneously . so during a span of 1 year it will decay almost half of its original value so it will come close to 5000.
A nuclide 1 is said to be the mirror isobar of nuclide 2 if Z1=N2 and Z2 = N1 (a) What nuclide is a mirror isobar of 1123Na ? (b) Which nuclide out of the two mirror isobars have greater binding energy and why?

Explanation- a nuclide 1 is said to be mirror isobar of nuclide 2, if Z1=N2 and Z2= N1
Now 11Na23, 12Mg23 for which Z2=12=N1 and N2 =23-12=11=Z1
(b) As 12Mg23 contain even number of protons against 11Na23 which has odd number o
Are the nucleons fundamental particles, or do they consist of still smaller parts? One way to find out is to probe a nucleon just as Rutherford probed an atom. What should be the kinetic energy of an electron for it to be able to probe a nucleon? Assume the diameter of a nucleon to be approximately 10-15

K.E= 109eV
A piece of wood from the ruins of an ancient building was found to have a 14 C activity of 12 disintegrations per minute per gram of its carbon content. The 14 C activity of the living wood is 16 disintegrations per minute per gram. How long ago did the tree, from which the wooden sample came, die? Given half-life of 14 C is 5760 yr.

Explanation- R= 12dis/min per gm and R0= 16dis/min per gm T1/2= 5760yr
R=
By taking log
= log1016/12
= 2.303 (0.6020-4.771)5760/0.6931
= 2391.20yr
Consider a radioactive nucleus A which decays to a stable nucleus C through the following sequence:
A -> B -> C
Here B is an intermediate nuclei which is also radioactive. Considering that there are N0 atoms of A initially, plot the graph showing the variation of number of atoms of A and B versus time.

A -> B -> C
Here B is an intermediate nuclei which is also radioactive. Considering that there are N0 atoms of A initially, plot the graph showing the variation of number of atoms of A and B versus time.

by considering the graph at t=0 NA= No while NB=0 but when time increases the atoms in B also increases and becomes maximum and then drop to zero by radioactive decay law.
Why do stable nuclei never have more neutrons than protons?
Why do stable nuclei never have more neutrons than protons?
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation-because more number of protons means more repulsive force which leads to instability.
In pair annihilation, an electron and a positron destroy each other to produce gamma radiations. How is the momentum conserved?
In pair annihilation, an electron and a positron destroy each other to produce gamma radiations. How is the momentum conserved?
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- during the collision of electron and positron they form gamma radiation and these gamma particle travels in opposite direction to conserve the momentum.
Which one of the following cannot emit radiation and why? Excited nucleus, excited electron.
Which one of the following cannot emit radiation and why? Excited nucleus, excited electron.
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- electron cannot emit radiation while exiting because they absorbs energy in eV which is very low as compared to gamma particle . as they contain energy in MeV
Which sample A or B shown in figure has shorter mean-life?

Which sample A or B shown in figure has shorter mean-life?

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- at t=0 (dN/dt)A= (dN/dt)B
By drawing a perpendicular line across graph (dN/dt)A> (dN/dt)B so decay is faster in A than B
