Question
A nuclear reaction is represented by the equation:$^{2}_{1}\text{H}+{^{2}_{1}\text{H}}\rightarrow{^{3}_{2}\text{He}}+\text{xc}+\text{E}$
  1. Name the process represented by this equation and describe what happens during this reaction.
  2. Identify the particle c and the number x of such particles produced in the reaction.
  3. What does E represent?
  4. State two conditions under which such a reaction takes place.
  5. What type of nuclear bomb is based on similar reactions?
✓

Answer

  1. Nuclear fusion; two smaller nuclei combine to form a bigger nucleus with the release of energy, brought about under the conditions of high temperature and pressure.
  2. Particle c is neutron; x= 1
  3. Energy liberated.
  4. Millions of degree of temperature and millions of pascals of pressure.
  5. Hydrogen bomb.

A and B are the two systems of control and coordination in the human body. The messages in system A are transmitted in the form of chemical substances C which travel comparatively slowly through the blood stream. The substances C are made in tissues D present in the head and trunk of human body. The messages in system b are transmitted very quickly in the form of electrical impulses through fibres E. The effect of messages transmitted by system b usually lasts for a much shorter time as compared to those transmitted by system A.

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25cm, 30cm, 40cm, 60cm and 120cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100cm, 24cm, 60cm, 30cm and 40cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order:
  1. Rewrite the image distances in the correct order.
  2. What would be the image distance if the object distance was 90cm?
  3. Which of the object distances gives the biggest image?
  4. What is the focal length of this lens?
