  3. y - rays

  4. Cosmic rays
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cosmic Rays             ${{10}^{-14}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-12}}m$

$\gamma $ Rays                        ${{10}^{-12}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-10}}m$

$x$ Rays                        ${{10}^{-10}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-09}}m$

Ultraviolet Rays         ${{10}^{-07}}m\,\,\,to\,\,\,4\times {{10}^{-07}}m$ 

Hence, Cosmic Rays have smallest wavelength.

An electromagnetic radiation has an energy 14.4 eV. To which region of electromagnetic spectrum does it belong?

  1. Ultraviolet region

  2. Visible region

  3. X-ray region

  4. Y-ray region
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$ E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda } $

$ \lambda =\dfrac{hc}{E}=\dfrac{6.626\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{14.4\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=0.86\times {{10}^{-09}} $

Cosmic Rays                ${{10}^{-14}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-12}}m$

$\gamma$ Rays                        ${{10}^{-12}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-10}}m$

$x$ Rays                        ${{10}^{-10}}m\,\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-09}}m$

Ultraviolet Rays         ${{10}^{-7}}m\,\,\,to\,\,\,4\times {{10}^{-7}}m$

Hence, it lies in $x$ Rays region.

Electromagnetic wave of intensity $1400\ W/m^{2}$ falls on metal surface on area $1.5\ m^{2}$ is completely absorbed by it. Find out force exerted by beam.

  1. $14\times 10^{-5}N$

  2. $14\times 10^{-6}N$

  3. $7\times 10^{-5}N$

  4. $7\times 10^{-6}N$

D Correct answer
Explanation
For a perfectly absorbing surface,
$F=\dfrac{IA}{C}$

$=\dfrac{(1400w/m^2\times 1.5m^2)}{(3\times 10^8m/s)}$

$=7\times 10^{-6}N$.

Which one of the following is the primary effect of UV radiation caused due to depletion of ozone layer?

  1. Heart attack

  2. Skin cancer

  3. High fever

  4. All of these

  5. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The ozone layer prevents most harmful UV wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere. These wavelengths cause skin cancer, sunburn and cataracts, which were projected to increase dramatically as a result of thinning ozone, as well as harming plants and animals.

Multiple choice electromagnetic spectrum electromagnetic waves physics

A gas of identical hydrogen like atoms has some atoms in ground state and some atoms in a particular excited state and there are no atoms in any other energy level. The atoms of the gas make transition to a higher state by absorbing monochromatic light of wavelength $304 \AA $. subsequently, the atoms emit radiation of only six different photon energies. Some of emitted photons have wavelength $304 \AA $, some have wavelength more and some have less than $304 \AA $ ( Take $hc = 12420 eV - \AA $)
Find the principal quantum number of the initially excited state.

  4. 4
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The energy of the absorbed photon is E = hc/lambda = 12420/304 approx 40.8 eV. For a hydrogen-like atom, E = 13.6 * Z^2 * (1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2). Given the emission of 6 lines, the final state must be n=4 (since 4*3/2 = 6). The transition is from n_initial to n_final = 4. Solving for Z and n_initial requires specific energy level data.

Mark the correct option in impure spectrum :

  1. Order of colours is reverse

  2. Order of colours is irregular

  3. colours are overlapped

  4. no colours is present
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

For impure spectrum:

  1. The order of colours is are straight, hence option a is false
  2. Order of colours are regular
  3. Colours are overlapped each other in impure spectrum
  4. Colours are present in impure spectrum
Hence option C is the correct statement according to the impure spectrum

Radiations of intensity 0.5 W/m2 are striking a metal plate. The pressure on the plate is

  1. $0.166 \times 10^{-8} N/m2$

  2. $0.332 \times 10-8 N/m^2$

  3. $0.111 \times 10-8 N/m^2$

  4. $0.083 \times 10-8 N/m^2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Intensity or power per unit area of the radiations,
$P = pv$
$\Rightarrow p=\dfrac{p}{v} = \dfrac{0.5}{3\times 10^8}=0.166\times 10^{-8}N/m^2$
