1 Nuclear Physics 1. State one difference between a chemical change and a nuclear change. Ans. A chemical change takes place due to transfer/sharing of orbital electrons of atoms of different elements, whereas nuclear change takes place due to the change in number of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom. 2. (a) What do you understand by the following terms? (i) Nucleus, (ii) Nucleons. (b) Compare the mass and charge of nucleons of different kinds. Ans.(a) (i) The central core of the atom is called nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. (ii) Neutrons and protons are collectively called nucleons. (b) Protons have a mass equal to kg and charge equal to l0 19C. Neutrons have a slightly more mass than the protons but have no electric charge. 1

(i) No change in position in the periodic table. (ii) It occupies one place ahead in periodic table, relative to its original position. (iii) It occupies two places behind in the periodic table, relative to its original position. 6
7 16. State Rutherford and Soddy s Laws of (i) α-emission (ii) β-emission (iii) γ-emission Ans. (i) Law of α-emission : When a radioactive nucleus ejects an α-particle, its mass number decreases by 4 a.m.u. and atomic number by 2 a.m.u, such that it occupies a position, two places behind in periodic table as compared to its original position. (ii) Law of β-emission : When the nucleus of an element ejects a β particle, its mass number remains the same, but its atomic number increases by one a.m.u. and hence its position is one place ahead in the periodic table, as compared to its original position. (iii) Law of γ-radiation : During gamma emission, the mass number and atomic number remain unchanged and hence no new element is formed. 17. State two differences between chemical change and nuclear change. Ans. (i) During chemical change no new elements are formed, whereas during nuclear change new elements are formed. (ii) During chemical change no harmful radiations are given out, whereas during nuclear change, harmful radiations are given out. 7
8 18. State four properties of (i) α -particles, (ii) β-particles, (iii) γ-radiations. Ans. (i) Properties of α-particles (a) They are doubly ionised helium nuclei having a mass equal to kg and charge equal to 3.2 l0 19 C. (b) They have the highest ionising power. (c) They have the least penetrating power. (d) They produce fluorescence in the zinc sulphide screen. (ii) Properties of β-particles. (a) They are negatively charged particles, having a charge equal to C and mass kg. (b) They have more penetration power than α-particles. (c) They have less ionising power than α-particles. (d) They affect photographic plate. (iii) Properties of γ-radiations. (a) They are electromagnetic waves, having wavelength less than 0.01 Å. (b) They have a very high penetration power. (c) They have a very low ionising power. (d) They are not affected by electric or magnetic fields. 8
9 19. Compare the : (a) ionising power, (b) penetration power of α, β and γ-particles. Ans. (a) Ionising power : If one unit is ionising power of γ-radiations, then 100 units is ionising power of β-particles and units is the ionising power of α-particles. (b)penetration power : γ-radiations can penetrate even 30 cm of iron. β-particles can penetrate 1mm of lead or 5 mm of aluminium. α-particles can penetrate 2.7 to 8.6 cm of air. 20. When does the nucleus of an atom tends to be radioactive? Ans. (i) When the atomic number of an element is more than 82, it tends to be radioactive. (ii) When the nucleus of any element has imbalance of neutrons as compared to normal atoms, it tends to be radioactive. 21. (i) Name three types of radiations emitted by a radioactive substance. (ii) Name the radiations which have charge. (iii) Name the type of radiations which are most penetrating. (iv) Name the type of radiations which travel with the speed of light. Ans. (i) α-radiations; β-radiations and γ- radiations (ii) α and β-radiations (iii) γ- radiations (iv) γ-radiations 9
10 22. (i) What is the nature of gamma radiations? (ii) How is it possible for an element to decay into another element of higher atomic number? (iii) Is it possible for hydrogen atom isotope to emit alpha particle? Explain. Ans. (i) γ-radiations are electromagnetic in nature and as such obey the laws of reflection, refraction and are not affected by electric or magnetic fields. (ii) By ejecting a β-particle, the nucleus of an element can decay into another element higher in atomic number. (iii) No, it is not possible. It is because alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. However, none of the isotopes of hydrogen has the same number or more of protons and neutrons in its nuclei. Thus, they cannot emit an alpha particle. 23. What are α, β and γ radiations composed of? Which of these rays have the least penetration power? Ans. Refer to answer no. 18. α-radiations have the least penetrating power Na Mg 24. Radioactive isotope of sodium, changes to stable. Which particle does it eject?

11 25. How do infra-red and γ -rays differ in their properties? Ans. (i) The wavelength of infra-red rays is of the order of 10 6 m or more whereas wavelength of γ-rays is of the order of m or less. (ii) γ-rays are highly penetrating as compared to infra-red radiation. 26. State two differences and two similarities between X-rays and γ-rays. Ans. Differences : (i) The wavelength of X-rays is of the order of 1Å, whereas wavelength of γ-rays is of the order of 10 3Å. (ii) X-rays are less penetrating than γ-rays. Similarities : (i) Both are electromagnetic waves. (ii) Both travel with the speed of ms A radioactive sample is kept in the centre of a large evacuated sphere. How safe will it be? What changes do you suggest for more safety? Ans. The radioactive source is likely to emitα, β and γ radiations. (i) The alpha radiations have the least penetrating power and hence are likely to be absorbed by the walls of the sphere. (ii) The beta radiations have a higher penetrating power and hence will pass out of the walls of sphere. However, if the sphere is bigger and not evacuated, the beta radiations will not pass out of it. 11
12 (iii) γ-radiations have highest penetrating power, hence will easily pass out of the wall of sphere. The radioactive-radiation can be stopped if (i) sphere is made of thick lead walls, (ii) is filled with air, and (iii) has large diameter. A 28. A radioactive element Z X loses two successive β-particles, followed by an P α-particle, such that the resulting nuclides is Q Y. Find the values of P and Q. Ans. A β A β A α ZX z +1X1 z + z +2X2 A 4 z X3 P A 4 QY zx3 = P=A 4; Q=Z. 29. An imaginary radioactive element 23 5 X 92 decays to form X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6 nuclei, by ejecting two β-particles, followed by α-particle and again two β- particles, followed by an α-particle. Represent the various nuclear changes in the form of an equation. State the mass number and atomic number of X6. List the isotopes and isobars in the above nuclear equation. Ans. 235 β 235 β X 93X1 94X 2 92X3 β 231 β X4 94X 5 92X6 Mass number of X6 is 227 and atomic number of X6 is 92.

13 30. Briefly describe Geiger counter. Ans. Geiger counter consists of a metal cylinder in which is fixed to a thin metallic wire along its axis. The mouth of cylinder is closed by a thin glass or mica window. In the cylinder argon gas is filled with traces of chlorine at a pressure of 100 mm. The electrical contacts are made as shown in the diagram and potential difference between cylinder and wire is kept slightly below than necessary to produce discharge in gas. When any charged particle enters the cylinder through glass window, it ionises the gas, thereby producing ionisation current which is momentary in nature. This momentary current is amplified which in turn advances electronic counter. 31. What is background radiation? How can you detect background radiation? Ans. The radiation which is omnipresent everywhere on the Earth because of radioactive substances present in the Earth and the cosmic particles in the atmosphere is called background radiation. These radiations can be detected by Geiger counter and their rate is constant for a given place. 13
14 32. How will you count the true rate of emission from a radioactive source by Geiger counter? Ans. First, record the background radiation by Geiger counter. Let the count rate be n. Now count the rate of emission from a given radioactive source. Let the count rate be N. True rate of emission = N n. 33. (i) What is the radioactivity? (ii) A radioactive substance is oxidised. What change would you expect to take place in the nature of radioactivity? Give one reason for your answer. Ans. (i) The property due to which the nucleus of an element decays into the nucleus of some other element, with the ejection of alpha particles or beta particles or gamma radiations is called radioactivity. (ii) No change will take place in the nature of radioactivity. It is because oxidation is the property of electrons in the outermost shell of atoms where the nucleus is not affected by any means. 14
15 34. (i) What are beta rays and gamma rays? (ii) Explain briefly what changes take place within the nuclei, when the beta particle is emitted by radioactive substance. Ans. (i) β-particles are negatively charged particles having a charge of C and mass kg. They are emitted by the nucleus of the atom when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. γ-rays are emitted by the nucleus of element when radioactive decay takes place. They are formed when a part of nuclear mass changes into energy. (ii) The electron is ejected as β-particle, but proton is retained by nucleus. Thus, element decays into another element whose position is one place ahead in the periodic table. 35. Why are the alpha particles not used in radiotherapy? Ans. The alpha particles have very large atomic volume and hence do notpenetrate human skin. 36. Why do we usually use isotopes emitting gamma radiation as radioactive tracers in medical science? Ans.Gamma radiations are highly penetrating. Thus, when isotopes emitting gamma radiation are injected in the body, the γ-radiation emitted by them can be easily detected in different parts of the body. 15
16 37. What are radio-isotopes? State one use of radio-isotopes. Ans. The isotopes of some elements having atomic number less than 82, such that they emit radioactive radiations are called radio-isotopes. Radio-sodium chloride is used as traces in the detection of cancer and brain tumour. 38. Which radiation produces maximum biological damage. What precautions are necessary while handling the source of their radiation? State safety precautions in handling radioactive material. Ans.Gamma radiation produces the maximum biological damage. Following precautions are necessary in handling the source of gamma radiation. (1) The radioactive substance should be kept in thick walled lead containers with a very narrow opening, which could be plugged by a lead stopper. (2) The radioactive material should be handled with lead tongs and the handler must wear lead lined clothes. 16
