An electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from an orbit with quantum number $${n_i}$$ to another with quantum number $${n_f}$$. $${V_i}$$ and $${V_f}$$ are respectively the initial and final potential energies of the electron. If $${{{V_i}} \over {{V_f}}} = 6.25$$, then the smallest possible $${n_f}$$ is

$${}^{131}{\rm I}$$ is an isotope of Iodine that $$B$$ decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of $$8$$ days. A small amount of a serum labelled with $${}^{131}{\rm I}$$ is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of $${}^{131}{\rm I}$$ injected was $$2.4 \times {10^5}$$ Becquerel $$(Bq).$$ It is known that the injected serum will get distributed uniformly in the blood stream in less than half an hour. After $$11.5$$ hours, $$2.5$$ ml of blood is drawn from person's body, and gives an activity of $$115$$ $$Bq$$. The total volume of blood in the person's body, in liters is approximately (you may use $${e^x} \approx 1 + x\,\,$$ for $$\left| x \right| < < 1$$ and $$\ln 2 \approx 0.7).$$

A hydrogen atom in its ground state is irradiated by light of wavelength 970$$\mathop A\limits^o $$.

Taking hc = 1.237 $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$6 eVm and the ground state energy of hydrogen atom as $$-$$ 13.6 eV, the number of lines present in the emission spectrum is

The isotope $$_5^{12}B$$ having a mass 12.014 u undergoes $$\beta $$-decay to $$_6^{12}C$$. $$_6^{12}C$$ has an excited state of the nucleus ($$_6^{12}C$$*) at 4.041 MeV above its ground state. If $$_5^{12}B$$ decays to $$_6^{12}C$$*, the maximum kinetic energy of the $$\beta$$-particle in units of MeV is (1u = 931.5 MeV/c², where c is the speed of light in vacuum).
