An atom bomb is based on the principle of

  1. nuclear bomb

  2. nuclear fusion

  3. the liquid drop model

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A

Atom bomb is based on the principles of nuclear bomb. When the nuclear bomb detonated gamma rays and X-rays emitted it to thermonuclear temperatures. The ensuing fission reaction creates enormous numbers of high speed neutrons, which can then induce fission in materials not normally prone to it, such as depleted uranium.

Which of the following is followed while handling the radioactive materials?

  1. Wearing protective clothing.

  2. Keeping as far away as is practicable - for example, by using tongskeeping

  3. Keeping radioactive materials in lead-lined containers,

  4. All of the above.

D Correct answer
Explanation

D

While handling with radioactive materials we must wear protective clothing and keep it as far as possible. The radioactive materials must be in a lead lined contained because the gamma rays emitting from the radioactive material can be prevented using lead lined materials only.

In the process of Radio active decay the correct example is _____.

  1. $ _6C^{14} \xrightarrow[of \,\propto \,particle]{emission} { _7C^{15}}$
  2. $ _6C^{14} \xrightarrow[of \,\propto \,particle]{emission} { _7N^{15}} + 1e$
  3. $ _6C^{14} \xrightarrow[of \,\propto \,particle]{Absorption} { _7N^{15}}$

  4. None of these

D Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon-14 decay involves beta emission, not alpha emission. The provided options contain incorrect nuclear equations (e.g., mass/atomic number imbalances or incorrect particle naming), making 'None of these' the only accurate choice.

Two radioactive samples $A$ and $B$ have half lives ${T} _{1}\ and {T} _{2}\left ({T} _{1}>{T} _{2}\right)$ respectively. At $t = 0$, the activity of $B$ was twice the activity of $A$. Their activity will become equal after a time 

  1. $\dfrac {{T} _{1}{T} _{2}}{{T} _{1}-{T} _{2}}$
  2. $\dfrac {{T} _{1}-{T} _{2}}{2}$
  3. $\dfrac {{T} _{1}+{T} _{2}}{2}$
  4. $\dfrac {{T} _{1}{T} _{2}}{{T} _{1}+{T} _{2}}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Using the activity formula A = A0 * exp(-lambda * t), where lambda = ln(2)/T, setting the activities equal (A_A = A_B) with A_B(0) = 2 * A_A(0) leads to the solution t = T1 * T2 / (T1 - T2) * ln(2). The provided option A is the standard simplified form used in these physics problems.
