A radar complex consists of eight units that operate independently. The probability that a unit detects an incoming missile is 0.9 . Then the probability that an incoming missile will not be detected by any unit is

An instrument consists of two units.Each unit must function for the instrument to operate.The reliability of the first unit is 0.9 and that of the second unit is 0.8. The instrument is tested & fails.The probability that only the first unit failed & the second unit is sound is

A certain water-supply system consists of a source, three pumping stations, and a destination. Each pump ing station has a probability p (0 lt p lt 1) of being operable at a specified time to and station functions independently of one another. The stations are connected as shown in figure: The probability that water is available to the destination at time to is

A bag consists of 10 balls each marked with one of the digits 0 to 9. If four balls are drawn successively with replacement from the bag, what is the probability that none is marked with the digit 0?

A radioactive sample consists of two isotopes one of then decays by alpha- emission with a half life of tau_(1)=405s and the other one decays by beta emission with half life of tau_(1) =1620s . At time t=0, probabilities of getting alpha and beta particles from the sample are equal. (a) If a particle coming out of the sample is detected at t=1620s, what is the probability that it is alpha particle? (b) Find the time when total number of surviving nuclei is half the initial quantity. Given If x^(4)+4x-2.5=0 then x=0.59 "log"_(10)2=0.301, "log"_(10)5.9=0.774

If the four positive integers are selected randomly from the set of positive integers, then the probability that the number 1,3, 7 and 9 are in the unit place in the product of 4 - digit, so selected is

A point source is emitting 0.2 W of ultravio- let radiation at a wavelength of lambda = 2537 Å . This source is placed at a distance of 1.0 m from the cathode of a photoelectric cell. The cathode is made of potassium (Work function = 2.22 eV ) and has a surface area of 4 cm^(2) . (a) According to classical theory, what time of exposure to the radiation shall be required for a potassium atom to accumulate sufficient energy to eject a photoelectron. Assume that radius of each potassium atom is 2 Å and it absorbs all energy incident on it. (b) Photon flux is defined as number of light photons reaching the cathode in unit time. Calculate the photon flux. (c) Photo efficiency is defined as probability of a photon being successful in knocking out an electron from the metal surface. Calculate the saturation photocurrent in the cell assuming a photo efficiency of 0.1. (d) Find the cut – off potential difference for the cell.
