A particular hydrogen like atom has its ground state Binding energy `= 122.4 eV`. It is in ground state. ThenA. Its atomic number is 3B. An electrom of `90` eV cam excite itC. An electron of kinetic energy nearly `91.8 eV` can be brought to almost rest by this atomD. An electron of kinetic energy `2.6 eV` may emerge from the atom when electron of kinetic energy 125 eV collides with this atom

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
`122.4 = (13.6Z^(2))/(1^(2)) rArr Z = 3, 91.8 = 122.4[1-(1)/(4)]`

Answer the following questions: (a) The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillation. For larger angles of oscilliation, a more involved analysis shows that `T` is greater than `2pisqrt((t)/(g))` Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result. (b) What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity ?

Answer» Correct Answer - (a) `sin theta lt theta` ; if the restoring force, `mg sin theta` is replaced by `mgtheta`, this amounts to effective reduction in `g` for large angels and hence an increase in time period `T` over that given by the formula `T = 2pisqrt((l)/(g))` where one assume `sin theta = theta`.
(b) Gravity disappears for a man under free fall, so frequency is zero.
