4. photoelectric effect

Q. Nuclear fusion happen spontaneously in

1. Earth's core
2. nuclear reactors
3. stars
4. volcanoes

Q. Pick the correct raw material suitable for producing nuclear energy.

1. Sodium
2. Uranium
3. Platinum
4. Rhodium

Q. Energy in sun is generated primarily because of:

1. Nuclear fission

1. $9.03\times {10}^{14}\text{J}$
2. $4.05\times {10}^{14}\text{J}$
3. $4.05\times {10}^7\text{J}$

Q.

For a fusion reaction between two lightweight nuclei to occur, the Columbic repulsion between them is required to be overcome. This can be done by which of the following ways?

1. Increasing the temperature of the sample
2. Decreasing the temperature of the sample
3. Increasing the average kinetic energy of the nuclei to be fused
4. Applying a high electric field

Q.

Calculate the Q-value of the fusion reaction ${}^{4}He{+}^{4}He{=}^{8}Be$ Is such a fusion energetically favorable? Atomic mass of ${}^{8}Be$ is 8.0053 u and that of ${}^{4}He$ is 4.0026 u.

1. The Q value is negative and the reaction is energetically favorable
2. The Q value is positive and the reaction is energetically favorable
3. The Q value is positive but the reaction is not energetically favorable
4. The Q value is negative and the reaction is not energetically favorable

Q.

Two lithium nuclei at room temperature do not combine to form a carbon nucleus, because:

1. A lithium nucleus is more tightly bound than a carbon nucleus.

2. Carbon nucleus is an unstable particle.

3. It is not energetically favorable.

4. Coulomb repulsion does not allow the nuclei to come very close.
