Two particles Y and Z emitted by a radio...

Two particles Y and Z emitted by a radioactive source at P made tracks in a chamber as illustrated in the Fig. 1.134. A magnetic field acts downward into the paper. Careful measurements showed that both tracks were circular, the radius of Y track being half that of the Z track. Which one of the following statements is certainly true?

A

Both particles Y and Z carried a positive charge

B

The mass of particle Z was one half that of particle Y

C

The mass of particle Z was twice that of particle Y

D

The charge of particle Z was twice that of particle Y

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
If is clear from Right Palm Rule that the charges are positively
charged.
As `r=(mv)/(qB)`
The radius of path not the only fuction of either m or
q. For (b), (c) and (d) we cannot make clear statement, but
statement (a) is certainly ture.

A radioactive element X has an atomic number of 100. It decays directly into an element Y which decays directly into an element Z . In both the processes either one alpha or one beta- particle is emitted. Which of the following statement could be true?

Two racing cars 'A' and 'B' having masses 'M' and '2m' respectively start running from the starting line on a horizontal plane.Both cars 'A' and B' have same speed 'V' which is constant through out the journey. The track of the two cars are the arcs of concentric circle having centres O_(1) and O_(2) as shwon in figure with data. The friction coefficient of the two cars with the road is same. There is a finishing line at the end of the arc. Using these informations solve the following questions. The magnitude of relative acceleration of two cars when car 'A' just reaches the end of circular arc of radius Y .

While conduction the Young's double slit experiment, a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources (S_(1),S_(2)) emitting light of wavelength 600nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (for zgt0) at a distance D=3 m from the mid-point of S_(1) , S_(2) , as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d=0.6003 mm . The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining S_(1)S_(2) . Which of the following is (are) true of the intensity pattern of the screen?

A nucleus X of mass M. intially at rest undergoes alpha decay according to the equation _(Z)^(A)Xrarr._(Z-2)^(A-4)Y+._(2)^(4)He The alpha particle emitted in the above proces is found to move in a circular track of radius r in a uniform magnetic field B. Then (mass and charge of alpha particle are m and q respectively)

Ideal gas equation is represented as PV=nRT . Gases present in universe were fond ideal in the Boyle's temperature range only and deviated more from ideal gas behavior at high pressure and low temperature. The deviation are explained in term of compressibility factor z . For ideal behavior Z=(PV)/(nRT)=1 . the main cause to show deviavtion were due to wrong assumptions made about forces oif attractions (which becomes significant at high pressure ) and volume V occupied by molecules in PV=nRT is supposed to be volume of gas or the volume of container in which gas is placed by assuming that gaseous molecules do not have appreciable volume. Actually volume of the gas is that volume in which each molecule of gas can move freely. If volume occupied by gaseous molecule is not negligible, then the term V would be replaced by the ideal volume which by available for free motion of each molecule of gas in 1 mole gas. V_("actual")= volume of container -volume occupied by molecules =v-b Where b represent the excluded volume occupied by molecules present in one mole of gas. Similarly for n mole gas V_("actual")=v-nb As the pressure approaching zero i.e. at very low pressure. The curves plotted between compressibility factor Z and P for n mole of gases have the following characteristics. (I) The intercept on y -axis leads to a value of unity (II) The intercept on y axis leads to a value of 'n' (III) The curves posses same slope for different gases at same temperature (IV) The curves posses different slopes for different gases at same temperature. (V) The curves posses same slope for a gas at different temperature
