What is thermionic emission?
The emission of electrons from a metal surface when heat or thermal energy is imparted to it, is called thermionic emission.
Complete the diagram as given above by drawing the deflection of radioactive radiation in an electric field.
An atomic nucleus A is composed of 84 protons and 128 neutrons.
i) The nucleus A emits an alpha particle and is transformed into nucleus B. What is the composition of nucleus B?
ii) The nucleus B emits a beta particle and is transformed into a nucleus C. What is the composition of nucleus C?
iii) Does the composition of nucleus C change if it emits gamma radiations?A block and a tackle system has V.R. = 5
i) Draw a neat labelled diagram of a system indicating the direction of its load and effort
ii) Rohan exerts a pull of 150 kgf. What is the maximum load he can raise with this pulley system if it’s efficiency = 75%?
Name one factor that affects the lateral displacement of light as it passes through a rectangular glass slab.
In the diagram alongside, A, B, C, D are four pendulums suspended from the same elastic string PQ. The length of A and C are equal to each other while the length of the pendulum B is smaller than that of D. Pendulum A is set into a mode of vibrations.
i) Name the type of vibrations taking place in pendulum B and D?
ii) What is the state of the pendulum C?
iii) State the reason for the type of vibrations in pendulum B and C.
