The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter is an:
1. | isobar of a parent. | 2. | isomer of a parent. |
3. | isotone of a parent. | 4. | isotope of a parent. |
In the radioactive decay process, the negatively charged emitted β-particles are:
1. | the electrons present inside the nucleus |
2. | the electrons produced as a result of the decay of neutrons inside the nucleus |
3. | the electrons produced as a result of collisions between atoms |
4. | the electrons orbiting around the nucleus |
Two radioactive substances A and B have decay constants 5λ and λ respectively. At t = 0, they have the same number of nuclei. The ratio of the number of nuclei of A to those of B will be after a time interval:
1.
2.
3.
4.
In a radioactive material, the activity at time t1 is R1 and at a later time t2, it is R2. If the decay constant of the material is λ, then:
1.
2.
3.
4.
1. 4 days
2. 3.4 days
3. 3.9 days
4. None of the above
If M0 is the mass of an oxygen isotope 8O17, MP and Mn are the masses of a proton and a neutron, respectively, the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A nucleus disintegrates into two nuclear parts which have their velocities in the ratio \(2:1\). The ratio of their nuclear size will be:
1. \(
2^{1 / 3}: 1
\)
2. \(
1: 3^{1 / 2}
\)
3. \( 3^{1 / 2}: 1
\)
4. \( 1: 2^{1 / 3}\)
Activity of a radioactive sample decreases to \(\frac{1}{3}\)rd of its original value in \(3\) days. Then, in \(9\) days its activity will become:
1. | \(\frac{1}{27}\) of the original value |
2. | \(\frac{1}{9}\) of the original value |
3. | \(\frac{1}{18}\) of the original value |
4. | \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the original value |
