An excited He⁺ ion emits two photons in succession, with wavelengths 108.5 nm and 30.4 nm, in making a transition to ground state. The quantum number n, corresponding to its initial excited state is (for photon of wavelength $$\lambda $$, energy $$E = {{1240\,eV} \over {\lambda (in\,nm)}}$$) :

A progressive wave travelling along the positive x-direction is represented by y(x,t) = Asin(kx – $$\omega $$t + $$\phi $$). Its snapshot at t = 0 is given in the figure.
For this wave, the phase $$\phi $$ is :

A man (mass = 50 kg) and his son (mass = 20 kg) are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The man pushes his son so that he starts moving at a speed of 0.70 ms^–1 with respect to the man. The speed of the man with respect to the surface is :

When M₁ gram of ice at –10^oC (specific heat = 0.5 cal g^{–1 o}C^–1 ) is added to M₂ gram of water at 50C, finally no ice is left and the water is at 0°C. The value of latent heat of ice, in cal g^–1 is :
