Question

Define ‘activity’ of a radioactive material and write its S.I. unit.
Plot a graph showing variation of activity of a given radioactive sample with time.
The sequence of stepwise decay of a radioactive nucleus is

If the atomic number and mass number of $D_2$ are 71 and 176 respectively, what are their corresponding values for D?

✓

Answer

The total decay rate (of a sample)at the given instant, i.e., the number of radionuclides disintegrating per unit time is called the activity of that sample. The SI unit for activity is becquerel (Bq).
Graph:

72 and 180.

Define the term “cut off frequency” in photoelectric emission. The threshold frequency of a metal is f. When the light of frequency 2f is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of photo-electrons is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5f, the maximum velocity of photo-electrons is $v_2$. Find the ratio $v_1 : v_2.$

(a) In Example 3.1, the electron drift speed is estimated to be only a few $mm s ^{-1}$ for currents in the range of a few amperes? How then is current established almost the instant a circuit is closed?
(b) The electron drift arises due to the force experienced by electrons in the electric field inside the conductor. But force should cause acceleration. Why then do the electrons acquire a steady average drift speed?
(c) If the electron drift speed is so small, and the electron's charge is small, how can we still obtain large amounts of current in a conductor?
(d) When electrons drift in a metal from lower to higher potential, does it mean that all the 'free' electrons of the metal are moving in the same direction?
(e) Are the paths of electrons straight lines between successive collisions (with the positive ions of the metal) in the (i) absence of electric field, (ii) presence of electric field?
