A point source of `gamma`- radiatonhas a half-life of 30 minutes.The intitial count rate recorded by Geiger counter placed 2 m from the source is `360 s^(-1)`.The distnace between the counter and the source is altered.After 1.5 hours,the count rate recorded is `5 s^(-1)`.What is th new distnace between the counter and the source?

To conduct Sports Day activities, in your rectangular shaped school ground ABCD, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1m each. 100 Flower pots have been placed at a distance of 1m from each other along AD, as shown in Fig. 7. 12.

A telescope has an objective of diameter of 60 cm. The focal lengths of the objective and eye piece are 2.0 m and 1.0 cm respectively. The telescope is directed to view two distant almost point sources of light (e.g. two stars of a binary). The sources are at roughly the same distance (=10^4 light years) along the line of sight but separated transverse to the line of sight by a distnace of 10^10 m . what will the telescope resolve the two objects i.e. will it see two distinct stars?
