If the distance between the foci of an ellipse is 6 and the distance between its directrices is 12, then the length of its latus rectum is :

A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed u from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass $${m \over {10}}$$ so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is (G is the gravitational constant; M is the mass of the earth) :

A beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity 6.4 × 10^–5 W/cm² is comprised of wavelength, $$\lambda $$ = 310 nm. It falls normally on a metal (work function $$\phi $$ = 2eV) of surface area of 1 cm². If one in 10³ photons ejects an elctron, total number of electrons ejected in 1 s is 10^x. (hc = 1240 eVnm, 1eV = 1.6 × 10^–19 J), then x is _____.

Visible light of wavelength 6000 $$ \times $$ 10^-8 cm falls normally on a single slit and produces a diffraction pattern. It is found that the second diffraction minimum is at 60^o from the central maximum. If the first minimum is produced at $$\theta $$₁, then $$\theta $$₁, is close to :
