MCQ

Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because

A
Molecules break up at high temperature
B
Nuclei break up at high temperature
C
Atoms get ionised at high temperature
✓
Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the coulomb repulsion between nuclei

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the coulomb repulsion between nuclei

d
In nuclear fusion reaction, the lighter nuclei combine together to form heavier nuclie.

Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei.

Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque screen. When a monochromatic beam of light passes through them at normal incidence, the first bright fringe in the transmitted light occurs at $\pm 45^o $ with the original direction of the light beam on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid, the same bright fringe now occurs at $\pm 30^o $. The index of refraction of the liquid is

A body having its centre of mass at the origin has three of its particles at $(a, 0, 0), (0, a, 0), (0, 0, a).$ The moments of inertia of the body about the $X$ and $Y$ axes are $0.20kg-m^2$ each. The moment of inertia about the $Z-$axis:

A solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. A very small point like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q.$ If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure), then :
