The `k_beta` X-rays from certain elements are given below. Draw a Moseley-type plot of `sqrt v versus Z for `K_beta` radiation
Element Ne P Ca Mn Zn Br
Energy (keV) 0*858 2*14 4*02 6*51 9*57 13*3.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

K_b radiation is when the e jumps from
` n=3 to n=1 `
(Here n is Principal quantum number)
` DeltaE=hf `
` =Rhe(Z-h)^2(1//2^2-1//3^2) `
` rArr sqrtf=(9Re)/8(Z-h) `
` :.(sqrt(f))alphaZ `
Second method
We can directly get value of f by
` hf=Energy `
` rArr f=(Energy (in keV)/h) `
thus we have to find out sqrtf and draw the same graph as above.

The position vector of a particle is given by vec(r)=1.2 t hat(i)+0.9 t^(2) hat(j)-0.6(t^(3)-1)hat(k) where t is the time in seconds from the start of motion and where vec(r) is expressed in meters. For the condition when t=4 second, determine the power (P=vec(F).vec(v)) in watts produced by the force vec(F)=(60hat(i)-25hat(j)-40hat(k)) N which is acting on the particle.

The mass of a nucleus ._(Z)^(A)X is less that the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus.The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of masses m_(1) and m_(2) only if (m_(1)+m_(2)) lt M . Also two light nuclei of masses m_(3) and m_(4) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M'. only if (m_(3)+m_(4)) gt M' . The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below: |{:(._(1)^(1)H ,1.007825u , ._(1)^(2)H,2.014102u,._(1)^(3)H,3.016050u,._(2)^(4)He,4.002603u),(._(3)^(6)Li,6.015123u,._(3)^(7)Li,7.016004u,._(30)^(70)Zn,69.925325u, ._(34)^(82)Se,81.916709u),(._(64)^(152)Gd,151.91980u,._(82)^(206)Pb,205.974455u,._(83)^(209)Bi,208.980388u,._(84)^(210)Po,209.982876u):}| Taking kinetic energy ( in KeV ) of the alpha particle, when the nucleus ._(84)^(210)P_(0) at rest undergoes alpha decay, is:
