In an accelerator experiment on high energy collisions of electrons with positron, a certain event is interprected as annihilation of an electron-positron pair of total energy 10.2 BeV into two gamma -rays of equal energy. What is the wavelength associated with each gamma -ray ? (1 BeV=10^(9)eV)

Co^57 decays to Fe^57 by beta^+ -emission.The resulting Fe^57 is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting gamma -rays.The half-life of beta^+ -decay is 270 days and that of the gamma -emission is 10^(-8) s.A sample of Co^57 given 5.0xx10^9 gamma rays per second.How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to 2.5xx10^9 per second ?

Obtain the amount of ""_(27)^(60)Co necessary to provide a radioactive source of 8.0 mCi strength. The half-life of ""_(27)^(60)Co is 5.3 years.

Assertion : Contribuition of CO_(2), CH_(4), CFCs " and " N_(2)O towards greenhouse effect is respectively 60%, 6 %, 14 % and 20 %. Reason : Greenhouse gases are radioactively active gases which prevent the short wavelength radiations emitted by earth to escape into space.

A radioactive sample has 6.0 xx 10^18 active nuclei at a certain instant. How many of these nuclei will still be in the same active state after two half-lives?

As observed from the top of a 60 m high light house from the sea level , the angles of depression of two ships are 28^(@) and 45^(@) . If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the lighthouse , find the distance between the two ships . ( tan 28^(@) = 0.5317 ) .

A right prism is to be made by selecting a proper material and the angles A and B (BleA) as shown in figure. It is desired that a ray of light incident normally on AB emerges parallel to the incident direction after two internal reflection.a. What should be the minimum refractive index mu for this to be possible? b. For mu=5/3 is it possible to achieve this with the angle A equal to 60 degrees?
