The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon $${E_b},$$ against the nuclear mass $$M;A,B,C,D,E,F$$ correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions :
$$\eqalign{ & \left( i \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A + B \to C + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {ii} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C \to A + B + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \cr & \left( {iii} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,D + E \to F + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {iv} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,F \to D + E + \varepsilon ,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \cr} $$

where $$\varepsilon $$ is the energy released? In which reactions is $$\varepsilon $$ positive?

The surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of $$400$$ $$nm.$$ The kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons was found to be $$1.68$$ $$eV.$$ The work function of the metal is : $$\left( {hc = 1240eV.nm} \right)$$

The transition from the state $$n=4$$ to $$n=3$$ in a hydrogen like atom result in ultra violet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition from :

A transparent solid cylindrical rod has a refractive index of $${2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}.$$ It is surrounded by air. A light ray is incident at the mid-point of one end of the rod as shown in the figure.

The incident angle $$\theta $$ for which the light ray grazes along the wall of the rod is :
