After absorbing a slowly moving neutron of mass $m_N$ $(momentum $~ $0)$ a nucleus of mass $M$ breaks into two nuclei of masses $m_1$ and $3m_1$ $(4m_1 = M + m_N)$, respectively. If the de Broglie wavelength of the nucleus with mass $m_1$ is $\lambda$, then de Broglie wavelength of the other nucleus will be
$9 \lambda$
$3 \lambda$
$\frac{\lambda }{3}$
$\lambda$
A radioactive nucleus decays by two different processes. The half life for the first process is $10\, s$ and that for the second is $100 s$. the effective half life of the nucleus is close to$.....sec$
A radioactive sample decays by two modes by $\alpha $ decay and by $\beta -decay$. $66.6 \%$ of times it decays by $\alpha -decay$ and $33.3 \%$ of times, it decays by $\beta -decay$. If half life of sample is $60$ years then what will be half life of sample, if it decays only by $\alpha - decay$. ............ $years$
In Fig. $X$ represents time and $Y$ represent activity of a radioactive sample. Then the activity of sample, varies with time according to the curve
