The density of a gas filled in electric lamp is 0.75kg//m^(3) . After the lamp has been switched on, the pressure in it increases from 4xx10^(4) Pa to 9xx10^(4) Pa. What is increases in u_("rms") ?

Hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons is an exothermic reaction. Due to hyperconjugation and resonance the stability of unsaturated hydrocarbons increases and the increase in stability is more due to resonance. Compound with same number of pi- bonds and more stability has lower heat of hydrogenation. Heat of formation is defined as the energy evolved when a molecule is formed from its atoms. For isomers the more stable compounds has higher heat of formation. The order of heat of formation of the following molecules is :

Statement I : If the current of a lamp increases by 20 % , the percentage increases in the illlumination of the lamp is 40% . Statement II : Illumination of the lamp is directly proportional to the square of the current through the lamp.

Figure shows the circuit of a flashing lamp, used at construction sites. The fluorescent lamp L, having negligible capacitance, is connected in parallel across the capacitor C of an RC circuit . There is a current through the lamp only when the potential difference across it reaches the breakdown voltage V_L) . In this event, the capacitor discharges completley through the lamp and lamp flashes momentarily. Consider an instant, when the capacitor has just discharged through the flash light. Taking this instant as t=0, the time after which the lamp flashes momentarily is given by
