An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius R on its axis. The solenoid has n turns/length and carries a current I. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed v. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid, maximum possible value of v is (all symbols have their standard meaning) :

A particle of mass m is projected with a speed u from the ground at an angle $$\theta = {\pi \over 3}$$ w.r.t. horizontal (x-axis). When it has reached its maximum height, it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $$u\widehat i$$ . The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is:

Two gases-argon (atomic radius 0.07 nm, atomic weight 40) and xenon (atomic radius 0.1 nm, atomic weight 140) have the same number density and are at the same temperature. The raito of their respective mean free times is closest to :

There is a small source of light at some depth below the surface of water (refractive index = $${4 \over 3}$$) in a tank of large cross sectional surface area. Neglecting any reflection from the bottom and absorption by water, percentage of light that emerges out of surface is (nearly) :
[Use the fact that surface area of a spherical cap of height h and radius of curvature r is 2$$\pi $$rh]:
