An adiabatic cylindrical tube of cross$-$sectional area $1\ cm^2$ is closed at one end and fitted with a piston at the other end. The tube contains $0.03g$ of an ideal gas. At $1$ atm pressure and at the temperature of the surrounding, the length of the gas column is $40\ cm.$ The piston is suddenly pulled out to double the length of the column. The pressure of the gas falls to $0.355$ atm. Find the speed of sound in the gas at atmospheric temperature.

A point source emitting alpha particles is placed at a distance of $1m$ from a counter which records any alpha particle falling on its $1\ cm^2$ window. If the source contains $6.0 \times 10^{16}$ active nuclei and the counter records a rate of $50000$ counts/ second, find the decay constant. Assume that the source emits alpha particles uniformly in all directions and the alpha particles fall nearly normally on the window.
