MCQ

Consider a sample of a pure beta-active material:

A
All the beta particles emitted have the same energy.
B
The beta particles originally exist inside the nucleus and are ejected at the time of beta decay.
C
The antineutrino emitted in a beta decay has zero mass and hence zero momentum.
✓
The active nucleus changes to one of its isobars after the beta decay.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

The active nucleus changes to one of its isobars after the beta decay.

In a beta decay, either a neutron is converted to a proton or a proton is converted to a neutron such that the mass number does not change. Also, the number of the nucleons present in the nucleus remains the same. Thus, the active nucleus gets converted to one of its isobars after beta decay.

A disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. A battery operated motor of negligible mass is fixed to this disc at a point on its circumference. Another disc of the same mass $M$ and radius $R / 2$ is fixed to the motor's thin shaft. Initially, both the discs are at rest. The motor is switched on so that the smaller disc rotates at a uniform angular speed $\omega$. If the angular speed at which the large disc rotates is $\omega / n$, then the value of $n$ is. . . . .
