MCQ
A radioactive sample decays by $\beta$  -emission. In first two seconds $‘n’$  $\beta$ -particles are emitted and in next $2\ seconds$ , $‘0.25n’$ $\beta$ -particles are emitted. The half life of radioactive nuclei is ...... $sec$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • $1$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1$
c
Given $\frac{N_{0}\left(1-2^{-2 / \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}}\right)}{N_{0}\left(1-2^{-4 / \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}}\right)}=\frac{n}{(0.25+1) n}$

{No. of $\beta$ -particles emitted $=$ No. of nuclei decayed } $\Rightarrow t_{1 / 2}=1$ $sec$

A thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plane-convex lens over a plane glass plate. With monochromatic light, this film gives an interference pattern due to light reflected from the top ( convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.
Statement $- 1$ : When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface, the reflected wave suffers a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement $- 2$ : The centre of the interference pattern is dark.
