MCQ
Assertion : Soft and hard $X-$ rays differ in frequency as well as velocity.
Reason : The penetrating power of hard $X-$ rays is more than the penetrating power of soft $X-$ rays.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: D.
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
Soft and hard $X-$ rays differ only in frequency. Soft $X-$ rays have low frequency as compared to hard $X-$ rays. But both types of  $X-$ ray travel with speed of light.

An isolated rail car of mass $M$ is moving along a straight, frictionless track at an initial speed $v_0$. The car is passing under a bridge when $a$ crate filled with $N$ bowling balls, each of mass $m$, is dropped from the bridge into the bed of the rail car. The crate splits open and the bowling balls bounce around inside the rail car, but none of them fall out. What is the average speed of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system some time after the collision?
