The correct Answer is:
To determine who invented the cyclotron, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **James Chadwick**: He is known for discovering the neutron, which is a fundamental particle in atomic physics. However, he did not invent the cyclotron. 2. **James Clerk Maxwell**: He is famous for his formulation of the theory of electromagnetism and for his work on the nature of light as an electromagnetic wave. He did not invent the cyclotron. 3. **Michael Faraday**: He is known for his contributions to electromagnetism and electrochemistry, including Faraday's laws of electrolysis. However, he is not associated with the invention of the cyclotron. 4. **Ernest Orlando Lawrence**: He is the scientist who invented the cyclotron in the early 1930s. The cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged particles using a high-frequency electric field and a magnetic field. Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: **4. Ernest Orlando Lawrence**

As part of his discovery of the neutron in 1932, James Chadwick determined the mass of the neutron (newly identified particle) by firing a beam of fast meutrons, all having the same speed, as two different targets and measuing the maximum recoil speeds of the target nuclei. The maximum speed arise when an elastic head-on collision occurs between a neutron and a stationary target nucleus. Represent the masses and final speeds of the two target nuclei as m_(1), v_(1), m_(2) and v_(2) and assume Newtonian mechanics applies. The neutron mass can be calculated from the equation: m_(n) = (m_(1)v_(1) - m_(2)v_(2))/(v_(2) - v_(1)) Chadwick directed a beam of neutrons on paraffin, which contains hydrogen. The maximum speed of the protons ejected was found to be 3.3 xx 10^(7) m//s . A second experiment was performed using neutrons from the same source and nitrogen nuclei as the target. The maximum recoil speed of the nitrogen nuclei was found to be 4.7 xx 10^(6) m//s . The masses of a proton and a nitrogen nucleus were taken as 1u and 14 u , respectively. What was Chadwick's value for the neutron mass?

In the figure shown below, a source of sound having power 12xx10^-6W is kept at O , which is emitting sound waves in the directions as shown. Two surfaces are labelled as 1 and 2 having areas A_1=2xx10^3m^2 and A_2=4xx10^3m^2 , respectively Q. Let the areas of the eardrums of persons A and B be A_A=2mm^2 and A_B=4mm^2 , respectively. Then who will hear a quiter sound?

Two surfaces are labelled as 1 and 2 having areas A_1=2xx10^3m^2 and A_2=4xx10^3m^2 , respectively Q. If two persons (having almost same physique) A and B are standing at the location of surfaces 1 and 2, respectively, then who will hear a quiter sound?

A national math examination has 4 statics problems. The distribution of the number of students who ansered the question correctly is shown in the chart. If 400 students took the exam and each question was worth 25 points, then what is the average score of the students taking the exam? {:("Question Number","Number of students who solved the question"),(1,200),(2,304),(3,350),(4,250):}

All the jacks, queens, kings, and aces of a regular 52 cards deck are taken out. The 16 cards are throughly shuffled and may opponent, a person who always tells the truth, simultaneously draws two cards at random and says, "I hold at least one ace". The probability that he holds two aces is (a)2/8 (b)4/9 (c)2/3 (d)1/9
