148 The ratio of largest to shortest wavelength in Lyman series of hydrogen atom is:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The Lyman series involves transitions to the n=1 level. The largest wavelength corresponds to the transition from n=2 to n=1, and the shortest wavelength corresponds to the transition from n=∞ to n=1. The ratio is calculated as (1/(1-1/4))/(1/(1-1/∞)) = 4/3.
149 Which of the following is true?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The Paschen series involves transitions to the n=3 level and is observed in the infrared region of the spectrum.
150 What is the role of electrons in an atom?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Electrons are involved in chemical bonding and determine the chemical properties of an element.
151 What determines the atomic number of an element?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
152 The phenomena of spontaneous disintegration of heavier elements (Z>82) into lighter nuclei with the emission of three types of radiation is:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of unstable atomic nuclei, typically emitting alpha, beta, or gamma radiation.
153 Which of the following radiations is most dangerous inside the body?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Alpha particles are highly ionizing and can cause significant damage if ingested or inhaled, despite their low penetration power.
154 A 200 g radioactive sample decays to 25 g in 3 hours. What is its half-life?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The sample decays to 1/8th of its original mass in 3 hours, which corresponds to 3 half-lives (since 1/2^3 = 1/8). Thus, the half-life is 1 hour (60 minutes).
