(c) 4 × 10¹³ s^–1 (d) 4 × 10¹² s^–1

A.4. (b)

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.5. X-rays are produced in an X-ray tube by electrons accelerated through an electric potential difference of 50.0 kV. An electron makes three collisions in the target before coming to rest and loses half of its remaining kinetic energy in each of the first two collisions. Neglect the recoil of the heavy target atoms, the wavelength of the resulting photons in the first two collisions is (Take hc = 1243 eV nm)
(a) 49.72 pm; 99.44 pm (b) 47.38 pm; 24.86 pm
(c) 52.24 pm; 49.72 pm (d) 49.72 pm; 24.86 pm

A.5. (a)

Explanation:

(a) Density (b) Volume
(c) Mass (d) Radius

A.6. (a)

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The density of the nucleus is constant and is independent of the mass number and it is the same for all nuclei.
