As shown in the figure an inductor of inductance 200 mH is connected to an AC source of emf 220 V and frequency 50 Hz. The instantaneous voltage of the source is 0 V when the peak value of current is $${{\sqrt a } \over \pi }$$ A. The value of $$a$$ is ___________.

Sodium light of wavelengths 650 nm and 655 nm is used to study diffraction at a single slit of aperture 0.5 mm. The distance between the slit and the screen is 2.0 m. The separation between the positions of the first maxima of diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases is ___________ $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$5 m.

When light of frequency twice the threshold frequency is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of emitted electron is v₁. When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to five times the threshold value, the maximum velocity of emitted electron becomes v₂. If v₂ = x v₁, the value of x will be __________.

From the top of a tower, a ball is thrown vertically upward which reaches the ground in 6 s. A second ball thrown vertically downward from the same position with the same speed reaches the ground in 1.5 s. A third ball released, from the rest from the same location, will reach the ground in ____________ s.
