Question

A photon of 1.7 cross times 1 0 to the power of negative 13 end exponentJoules is absorbed by a material under special circumstances. The correct statement is

  1. Electrons of the atom of absorbed material will go the higher energy states    
  2. Electron and positron pair will be created    
  3. Only positron will be produced    
  4. Photoelectric effect will occur and electron will be produced    

The correct answer is: Electron and positron pair will be created


    For electron and positron pair production, minimum energy is 1.02 MeV.
    Energy of photon is given 1.7 ´ 10-3 J equals fraction numerator 1.7 cross times 1 0 to the power of negative 13 end exponent over denominator 1.6 cross times 1 0 to the power of negative 19 end exponent end fraction
    = 1.06 MeV.
    Since energy of photon is greater than 1.02 MeV,
    So electron, positron pair will be created.

    An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass M. The piston and the cylinder have equal cross sectional area A. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is V0 and its pressure is P0. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
