Q. 42. In the Davisson and Germer experiment, the velocity of electrons emitted from the electron gun can be increased by
(1) Decreasing the potential difference between the anode and filament
(2) Increasing the potential difference between the anode and filament
(3) Increasing the filament current
(4) Decreasing the filament current

Fact
Answer : (2)
Q. 43. The half life of a radioactive isotope X is 50 years. It decays to another element Y which is stable. The two elements X and Y were found to be in the ratio of 1: 15 in a sample of a given rock. The age of the rock was estimated to be
(1) 100 years (2) 150 years
(3) 200 years (4) 250 years
Sol:
After t second fractional amount of X left is ,
t = 4 × T1/2
t = 4 × 50
= 200 years
Answer : (3)
