The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The time period is the amount of time it takes for one wave to pass a fixed point.

T = 2π√(l/g)

The mass of the pendulum does not affect the time period. So, if we replace the mass of the pendulum with a mass that is 3 times the old mass, the new time period will still be T.

The apparent change in the frequency of sound caused by the relative motion of either the source of sound or the listener or both is called the Doppler effect.

The Doppler effect is observed when there is relative motion between the source of sound and the observer. It results in a shift in the frequency of the sound waves, leading to a change in pitch when the source of sound or the observer is in motion.

fₙ = n * (v / 2L)

where: fₙ = resonant frequency (nth harmonic frequency) n = mode number (n = 1, 2, 3, ...)

Now, let's find the resonant frequencies for the first three modes (n = 1, 2, and 3):

For n = 1:
f₁ = 1 * (24 / (2 * 6))
f₁= 2 Hz

For n = 2:
f₂ = 2 * (24 / (2 * 6))
f₂= 4 Hz

For n = 3:
f₃ = 3 * (24 / (2 * 6))
f₃= 6 Hz

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator remains constant. At extreme positions, kinetic energy is zero (velocity is zero), and potential energy is maximum (maximum displacement). Throughout its motion, the energy continuously exchanges between kinetic and potential forms.

Since initial velocity is zero, therefore, the velocity- time graph must pass through the origin.

Since velocity is increasing at a uniform rate therefore, the velocity- time graph cannot be parallel to time – axis.

 If the velocity- time graph is parallel to velocity axis, then it would mean different velocities at any given time. This is physically impossible.

For the treatment of cancer, the source of gamma rays commonly used is Co-60 (Cobalt-60). Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope of cobalt and is widely used in radiation therapy for cancer treatment.

Lead (Pb) is a stable element. A stable element is one that does not undergo spontaneous radioactive decay. It means that lead does not naturally change into other elements over time through radioactive processes.

 Plutonium (Pu), Radium (Ra), and Protactinium (Pa) are radioactive elements. They are unstable and undergo radioactive decay, eventually transforming into other elements.

A material's radioactivity is measured in becquerels (Bq, international unit) and curies (Ci, U.S. unit). Because a curie is a large unit, radioactivity results are usually shown in picocuries (pCi)

T/m^2 is no the Unit of Radioactivity

Naturally occurring heavy nuclei are unstable so it breaks up to stable light nuclei. It spontaneously emits particles without the help of any outside agency like temperature and pressure. So radioactivity is a nuclear process and it does not depend upon temperature.

Explanation: 

Gamma rays can be generated under electron transitions in different orbits, typically when high-energy electrons move to lower energy levels or when particles undergo certain nuclear processes.

To clarify the options:

A) Infrared radiation is generated when electrons transition between energy levels in atoms and molecules.

B) Ultraviolet radiation is produced by electron transitions in atoms and molecules involving higher energy levels.

C) X-rays are generated when electrons undergo transitions from outer energy levels to inner energy levels in atoms.

half-life predicts the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay or disintegrate. After one half-life has passed, half of the original radioactive atoms will have decayed, and the other half will remain.

In vacuum (empty space), all photons, regardless of their energy or wavelength, travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light in vacuum, denoted by 'c'. This speed is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (or about 186,282 miles per second).

In pair annihilation, a particle and its antiparticle collide and are converted into energy, typically in the form of two gamma ray photons. The process conserves both energy and momentum.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant unless acted upon by an external force. When the particle and its antiparticle annihilate, they have opposite momenta, and to conserve momentum, the resulting gamma ray photons must also have equal but opposite momenta, hence traveling in opposite directions.

Rectification methods to convert AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) include full-wave rectification and half-wave rectification. In both cases, rectification is performed by utilizing the characteristic that current flows only in the positive direction in a diode.

The wavelength of an electron is inversely proportional to its momentum, which is the product of its mass and velocity. Therefore, a short-wavelength electron has a high momentum and a high kinetic energy.

The additional components involved in a full wave rectifier circuit, such as diodes and a center-tapped transformer or a bridge rectifier configuration, can introduce some additional resistance. This extra resistance can contribute to the overall resistance of the full wave rectifier being slightly higher compared to a simple half wave rectifier, which typically involves only one diode.

A half wave rectifier only allows the positive half cycles of an AC signal to pass through. The negative half cycles are blocked. This results in a unidirectional current, which flows in only one direction.

When the torque generated by the back emf exceeds the external torque applied to the generator, the generator stops suddenly. This happens because the back emf's torque counteracts and overcomes the torque provided by an external force (such as an engine or mechanical input).

Solve it Further you will get Answer

An ideal AC generator is a theoretical device that converts 100% of the mechanical energy input into electrical energy output.

⚠️Important: 
There are no losses in an ideal AC generator, so there is no heat dissipation.

⚠️ Important: 
When two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. In this case, the two resistors are each of resistance R, so the total resistance is 2R.

Explanation:

“It increases the given AC voltage.”
 Correct — this is the basic function of a step-up transformer.
→ Appropriate statement

Option b:
“It decreases the given alternating current.”
Correct — if voltage is increased, current decreases to conserve power (P = VI).
→ Appropriate statement

Option c:
“Heat is never produced in step-up transformer.”
Incorrect for a real transformer (there are copper and core losses).
 But true for an ideal transformer (no losses).
→ Context-dependent

Option d:
“Its input energy is always less than output energy.”
This is always false — energy output can never exceed input.
→ Inappropriate statement (violates conservation of energy)

⚠️ Important
Practical transformers do produce heat, just like any other electrical device. The heat is produced by the resistance of the windings in the transformer. The amount of heat produced depends on the amount of current flowing through the windings and the resistance of the windings.

F = q * (v x B)

Since the neutron has no charge (q = 0), the magnetic force on the neutron is zero:

F = 0

According to Newton's second law, F = m * a, where m is the mass of the neutron and a is its acceleration.

Since F is zero, the acceleration of the neutron is also zero.

Explanation: 

The magnetic force on a charged particle is given by the following equation:

F = qvBsinθ

Potential divider circuit is made when resistance is divided. A potential divider is a circuit that produces a voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage. The voltage is divided across two resistors, and the ratio of the two resistors determines the fraction of the input voltage that is produced.

Magnetic lines of force are imaginary lines that show the direction of the magnetic field. They are not actual lines, but they are a useful way to visualize the magnetic field. The density of the lines of force indicates the strength of the magnetic field.

Magnetic lines of force are always continuous and never intersect. They point away from the north pole of a magnet and towards the south pole. The direction of the magnetic field is the direction in which a compass needle would point.

An isolated thermodynamic system is a system that does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings. This means that no heat or mass can enter or leave the system.

When two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, they have the same temperature. In this case, body A has a temperature of 100°C and body B has a temperature of 0°C.

As heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body, the temperature of body A will decrease and the temperature of body B will increase. Eventually, they will reach a temperature of 45°C, at which point they will be in thermal equilibrium

When a projectile is launched, it initially has a certain velocity in a particular direction. As it moves upward against the force of gravity, its vertical velocity gradually decreases until it reaches its highest point, where it momentarily comes to a stop before reversing its direction and falling back down.

At the point of projection, the projectile has its maximum initial velocity, which determines the range and height it can achieve. After that, due to the influence of gravity, the vertical component of its velocity decreases until it reaches zero at the highest point.

The first condition of equilibrium states that for an object to remain in equilibrium, the net force acting upon it in all directions must be zero.

According to Newton's first law, a body in motion tends to remain in motion at a constant velocity.

3. Propionic acid (CH3CH2COOH) is stronger than acetic acid.
4. Trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH) is stronger than acetic acid.

EXPLANATION:

Given that the rate of the reaction is 0.6 mol/dm³ s⁻¹ and the concentration of the reactant is 1 mol/dm³ (1 mole of reactant in 1 dm³), we can use the rate equation to find the rate constant (k):

0.6 mol/dm³ s⁻¹ = k * 1 mol/dm³

Solving for k:

k = 0.6 mol/dm³ s⁻¹

So, the rate constant (k) for this first-order reaction is 0.6 s⁻¹.

EXPLANATION:

an anion has one or more electrons than its parent atom, resulting in an increased repulsion among the electrons and a decrease in the effective nuclear charge. As a result, the distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus is more in anions than in it’s the parent atom. Hence, an anion is larger in radius than its parent atom

EXPLANATION:

A cathode has a reduction potential that is more positive than the anode's reduction potential in an electrochemical cell. Reduction potential measures the tendency of a species to gain electrons and undergo reduction (a reduction half-reaction). A more positive reduction potential indicates a higher tendency for reduction to occur at the cathode compared to the anode. This potential difference drives the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode, generating an electric current in the electrochemical cell.

Conjugate Solutions: Conjugate solutions are two separate solutions of different substances that become miscible (capable of mixing in all proportions) with each other at a certain temperature.

Merge into One Another: When the temperature is raised above a certain point, the two separate solutions mix together and form a single homogeneous solution.

Critical Solution Temperature: This is the temperature at which the two conjugate solutions merge into one another. At this specific temperature, the substances in the two solutions exhibit similar intermolecular forces and become fully soluble in each other.
