a. Radiactivity .
b. It rebounds (or recoils): due to momentum conservation principle.
c. The BE per nucleon increases by the activity.
d. There is no specific time. It is spontaneous `gamma`- emission can be independent or followed by `alpha`- decay.

Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvonometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0mOmega . Assume the field to be uniform. a. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12cms^(-1) in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf. b. Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed? c. With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ eventhough they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain. d. What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed? e. How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (=12cms^(-1)) when K is closed? How much power is required when K is open? f. How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit? What is the source of this power? g. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?

a. Are the equations of nuclear reactions such as ""_(7)^(14)N + ""_(2)^(4)He to ""_(8)^(16)O + ""_1^2H 'balanced' in the sense a chemical equation 2H_2 + O_2 to 2H_2O is ? If not, in what sense are they balanced on both sides? b. If the number of protons and number of neutrons are conserved in a nuclear reaction, in what way the mass is converted into energy (or vice versa) in a nuclear reaction? c. A general impression exists that mass energy inter-conversion takes place only in nuclear reaction and never in chemical reaction. Strictly speaking, this is incorrect Explain.

The following is the illustration of the sequence of ovarian events (a-i) in a human female. (a) Identify the figure that illustrates ovulation and mention the stage of oogenesis it represents. (b) Name the ovarian hormone and the pituitary hormone that have caused the above mentioned events. (c) Explain the changes that occurs in the uterus simultaneously in anticipation. (d) Write the difference between C and H.

In a fusion reactor, the reaction occurs in two stages. (i) Two deuterium (""_(1)^(2)D) nuclei fuse to form a tritium (""_(1)^(3)T) nucleus with a proton as product. (ii) A tritium nucleus fuses with another deuterium nucleus to form a helium (""_(2)^(4)He) nucleus with neutron as another product. Find (a) the energy released in each stage. (b) the energy released in the combined reaction per deuterium and (c) what percentage of the mass energy of the initial deuterium is released? Given : ""_(1)^(2)D=2.014102u,""_(1)^(3)T=3.016049u,""_(2)^(4)He=4.002603u,""_(1)^(1)H=1.007825u,""_(0)^(1)n=1.008665u Take 1u = 931 MeV

For scattering by an 'inverse square field' (such as that produced by a charged nucleus in Rutherford's model) the relation between impact parameter b and the scattering angle theta is given by b (Ze^2 cot (theta/2))/(4 pi epsi_0 ((mv^2)/(2))) a. What is the scattering angle for b =0? b. For a given impact parameter h, does the angle of deflection increase or decrease with increasing energy? c .What is the impact parameter at which the scattering angle is 90^@ for Z = 79 and initial energy of 10 MeV? d. Why is it that the mass of the nucleus does not enter the formula above but the charge does? e. For a given energy of the projectile, does the scattering angle increase or decrease with decrease in impact parameter?

Answer the following questions . a. The earth's magnetic field varies from point is space. Does it also change with time ? It so , on what time scate does it change appreciably ? b. The earth's core is known to contain iron. Yet geologists do not regard this as a source of the earth's magnetism why ? c. The charged currents in the outer conducting regions of the earth's core are thought to be responsible for earth's magnetism . What might be the ' battery ' (i.e., the source of energy) to sustain these currents ? d. The earth may have even reversed the direction of its field several times during its history of 4 to 5 billion years. How can geologists know about the earth's field in such distant past ? e. The earth's field departs from its dipole substantially at large distances (greater than about 30,000 km) what agencies may be responsible for this distortion ? f. Interstellar space has an extremely weak magnetic field of the order of 10^(-12) T, Can such a weak field be of any significant consequence ? Explain.
