Suppose you are given a chance to repeat the alpha- particle scattering experiment using a thin sheet of solid hydrogen in place of the gold foil. (Hydrogen is a solid at temperatures below 14 K.) What results do you expect?

Photoelectrons are emitted when 400 nm radiation is incident on a surface of work - function 1.9 eV. These photoelectrons pass through a region containing alpha -particles. A maximum energy electron combines with an alpha -particle to from a He^+ ion, emitting a single photon in this process. He^+ ions thus formed are in their fourth excited state. Find the energies in eV of the photons lying in the 2 to 4 eV range, that are likely to be emitted during and after the combination. [Take, h = 4.14xx10^(-15) eV -s]

A larger spherical mass M is fixed at one position and two identical point masses m are kept on a line passing through the centre of M. The point masses are connected by rigid massless rod of length l and this assembly is free to move along the line connecting them. All three masses interact only throght their mutual gravitational interaction. When the point mass nearer to M is at a distance r =3l form M, the tensin in the rod is zero for m =k((M)/(288)). The value of k is

Flow cytometry, illustrated in the figure, is a technique used to sort cells by type. The cells are placed in a conducting saline solution which is then forced from a nozzle. The stream breaks up into small droplets, each containing one cell. A metal collar surrounds the stream right at the point where the droplets seprate from the stream. Charging the collar polarizes the conducting liquid, causing the droplets to become charged as they break off from the steam. A leser beam probes the solution just upstream from the charging collar, looking for the presence of certain types of cells. All droplets containing one particular type of cell are given the same charge by the charging collar. Droplets with other desired types of cells receive a different charge, and droplats with no desired cell receive no charge. The charged. The charges droplets then pass between two parallel charged electrodes where they receive a horizontal force that directs force that directs them into different collection tubes, depending on air charge. Another way to sort the droplets would be to given each droplet the same charge, then vary the electric field between the deflection plates. For the apparatus as sketched, this technique will not work because

Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil show patterns of alternative dark and bright regions resulting from interference among the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase, their crests and troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the amplitude of resultant wave will be greater then either of constituent waves. If the two wave are not of phase by half a wavelength (180^(@)) , the crests of one wave will coincide width the troughs of the other wave. The interference will be destructive and the amplitude of the resultant wave will be less than that of either constiuent wave. 1. When incident light I, reaches the surface at point a, some of the light is reflected as ray R_(a) and some is refracted following the path ab to the back of the film. 2. At point b, some of the light is refracted out of the film and part is reflected back through the film along path bc. At point c, some of the light is reflected back into the film and part is reflected out of the film as ray R_(c) . R_(a) and R_(c) are parallel. However, R_(c) has traveled the extra distance within the film of abc. If the angle of incidence is small, then abc is approximately twice the film's thickness . If R_(a) and R_(c) are in phase, they will undergo constructive interference and the region ac will be bright. If R_(a) and R_(c) are out of phase, they will undergo destructive interference and the region ac will be dark. I. Refraction at an interface never changes the phase of the wave. II. For reflection at the interfere between two media 1 and 2, if n_(1) gt n_(2) , the reflected wave will change phase. If n_(1) lt n_(2) , the reflected wave will not undergo a phase change. For reference, n_(air) = 1.00 . III. If the waves are in phase after reflection at all intensities, then the effects of path length in the film are: Constrictive interference occurs when 2 t = m lambda // n, m = 0, 1,2,3 ,... Destructive interference occurs when 2 t = (m + (1)/(2)) (lambda)/(n) , m = 0, 1, 2, 3 ,... If the waves are 180^(@) out of the phase after reflection at all interference, then the effects of path length in the film area: Constructive interference occurs when 2 t = (m + (1)/(2)) (lambda)/(n), m = 0, 1, 2, 3 ,... Destructive interference occurs when 2 t = (m lambda)/(n) , m = 0, 1, 2, 3 ,... 72. A film with index of refraction 1.50 coats a glass lens with index of refraction 1.80.

10,000 alpha particles per minute passing through a straight tube of radius r. what is the resulting electric current?

Two particle are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitude. They pass each other, moving on opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is.........
