According to classical physics, $10^{-15}\ m$ is distance of closest approach $(d_c)$ for fusion to occur between two protons. A more accurate and quantum approach says that ${d_c} = \frac{{{\lambda _p}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}$ where $'\lambda _p'$ is de-broglie's wavelength of proton when they were far apart. Using quantum approach, find equation of temperature at centre of star. [Given: $M_p$ is mass of proton, $k$ is boltzman constant]

A source contains two phosphorous radio nuclides $_{15}^{32} P \left(T_{1 / 2}=14.3 d \right)$ and $_{15}^{33} P \left(T_{1 / 2}=25.3 d \right) .$ Initially, $10 \%$ of the decays come from $_{15}^{33} P$ How long one must wait until $90 \%$ do so?

The initial activity of a certain radioactive isotope was measured as $16000\ counts\  min^{-1}$. Given that the only activity measured was due to this isotope and that its activity after $12\, h$ was $2000\ counts\ min^{-1}$, its half-life, in hours, is nearest to
