Q18.The disintegration rate of a certain radioactive sample at any instant is 4250 disintegrations per minute. 10 minutes later, the rate becomes 2250 disintegrations per minute. The approximate decay constant is (Take loge 1. 88 = 0. 63 ) (1) 0. 02 min−1 (2) 2. 7 min−1 (3) 0. 063 min−1 (4) 6. 3 min−1

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy of a single photon and then using the given intensity to find the number of photons crossing a unit area per second.

Concepts Tested

11.4 Monochromatic light of wavelength 632.8 nm is produced by a helium-neon laser. The power emitted is 9.42 mW. (a) Find the energy and momentum of each photon in the light beam, (b) How many photons per second, on the average, arrive at a target irradiated by this beam? (Assume the beam to have uniform cross-section which is less than the target area), and (c) How fast does a hydrogen atom have to travel in order to have the same momentum as that of the photon?
