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 D₂ 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.

Two sources of sound, S₁ and S₂, emitting waves of equal wavelength 20.0cm, are placed with a separation of 20.0cm between them. A detector can be moved on a line parallel to S₁S₂, and at a distance of 20.0cm from it. Initially, the detector is equidistant from the two sources. Assuming that the waves emitted by the sources are in phase, find the minimum distance through which the detector should be shifted to detect a minimum of sound.

Distinguish between nuclear fission and fusion. Show how in both these processes energy is released. Calculate the energy release in MeV in the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction:
$^{2}_{1}\text{H} + ^{3}_{1}\text{H}\rightarrow^{4}_{2}\text{H} +\text{n}$
Using the data:
$\text{m}(^{2}_{1}\text{H}) = 2.014102 \text{u}$
$\text{m}(^{3}_{1}\text{H}) = 3.016049\text{u}$
$\text{m}(^{4}_{2}\text{H}) = 4.002603 \text{u}$
$\text{m}_{n} = 1.008665 \text{n}$
$1\text{u} = 931.5\text{MeV/c}^{2}$.
