- proton, neutron, positron
- neutron, positron, proton
- proton, positron, neutron
- positron, proton, neutron
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
X is proton $^{1}_{1}H.$
(ii) $^{27}_{13}AI + ^{4}_{2}He (\alpha) \longrightarrow ^{30}_{15}P+ ^{1}_{0}Y$
Y is neutron, $^{1}_{0}n.$
$\hspace30mm ^{30}_{15}P \longrightarrow ^{30}_{14}Si + ^{0}_{1}Z$
Z is positron,$^{0}_{+1}e.$

- ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. A rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} g$ of ${ }_{92}{ }^{238} U$. If the number of alpha particles that itwould emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ to ${ }_{82}{ }^{206} Pb$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$, then what is the value of $Z$ ?

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
A solid glass sphere of refractive index $ n = \sqrt{3} $ and radius $ R $ contains a spherical air cavity of radius $ \dfrac{R}{2} $, as shown in the figure. A very thin glass layer is present at the point $ O $ so that the air cavity (refractive index $ n = 1 $) remains inside the glass sphere. An unpolarized, unidirectional and monochromatic light source $ S $ emits a light ray from a point inside the glass sphere towards the periphery of the glass sphere. If the light is reflected from the point $ O $ and is fully polarized, then the angle of incidence at the inner surface of the glass sphere is $ \theta $. The value of $ \sin \theta $ is ____

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

In a scattering experiment, a particle of mass $ 2m $ collides with another particle of mass $ m $, which is initially at rest. Assuming the collision to be perfectly elastic, the maximum angular deviation $ \theta $ of the heavier particle, as shown in the figure, in radians is:

A conducting square loop initially lies in the $ XZ $ plane with its lower edge hinged along the $ X $-axis. Only in the region $ y \geq 0 $, there is a time dependent magnetic field pointing along the $ Z $-direction, $ \vec{B}(t) = B_0 (\cos \omega t) \hat{k} $, where $ B_0 $ is a constant. The magnetic field is zero everywhere else. At time $ t = 0 $, the loop starts rotating with constant angular speed $ \omega $ about the $ X $ axis in the clockwise direction as viewed from the $ +X $ axis (as shown in the figure). Ignoring self-inductance of the loop and gravity, which of the following plots correctly represents the induced e.m.f. ($ V $) in the loop as a function of time:

Concepts Used:
Nuclear Physics
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions, in addition to the study of other forms of nuclear matter. Nuclear physics should not be confused with atomic physics, which studies the atom as a whole, including its electrons
Radius of Nucleus
‘R’ represents the radius of the nucleus. R = RoA1/3
Where,
- Ro is the proportionality constant
- A is the mass number of the element
Total Number of Protons and Neutrons in a Nucleus
The mass number (A), also known as the nucleon number, is the total number of neutrons and protons in a nucleus.
A = Z + N
Where, N is the neutron number, A is the mass number, Z is the proton number
Mass Defect
Mass defect is the difference between the sum of masses of the nucleons (neutrons + protons) constituting a nucleus and the rest mass of the nucleus and is given as:
Δm = Zmp + (A - Z) mn - M
Where Z = atomic number, A = mass number, mp = mass of 1 proton, mn = mass of 1 neutron and M = mass of nucleus.
