Depletion of ozone in the atmosphere reduces the absorption of ultraviolet rays. Justify the statements. |
|
Answer» Chloroflouro carbons are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. Chlorofluorocarbon released into the atmosphere reach the stratosphere and breakdown by the action of ultraviolet radiation releasing chlorine the chlorine decomposes ozone molecules into oxygen.

Two particles have the same de Broglie wavelength and one is moving four times as fast as the other. If the slower particle is an α-particle, what are the possibilities for the other particle? |
|
Answer» Data : λ1 = λ2 , v1 = 4v2 λ = \(\cfrac{h}p\) = \(\cfrac{h}{mv}\) ∴ λ1 = \(\cfrac{h}{m_1v_1}\), λ2 = \(\cfrac{h}{m_2v_2}\) ∴ m1 = m2 \(\cfrac{v_2}{v_1}\) = m2 \((\cfrac{1}4)\) = \(\cfrac{m_2}4\) As particle 2 is the a-particle, particle 1 (having the mass \(\cfrac{1}4\) times that of the a-particle) may be a proton or neutron. |
