What are isotopes? Give one example.
✓
Answer
The atoms of the same element which have the same atomic number $Z$ but differ in their mass number $A$ are called isotopes.
Example: Hydrogen has three isotopes Protium ${ }_1^1 H$, Deuterium ${ }_1^2 H$, and Tritium ${ }_1^3 H$.

→ A rifle shot is fired in a valley between two parallel walls. The echo from one wall is heard in 3 s and the echo from the other wall is heard 3 s later. If the velocity of sound at 00 c is $330 ms^{-1}$ and the temperature in the valley is 100 c , calculate the width of the valley. For every 10 c rise in temperature, the velocity of sound increase by $0.61 ms^{-1}$.
