Assertion- The energy of continuous X—rays is more than the energy of characteristic X—rays.

Reason- Characteristic X—rays are produced due to the transition of electrons from higher energy states to lower energy states.

Assertion- Wavelength of characteristic X-rays are given by 1λ1n12-1n22 in the transition from n2 to n1. In the above relation proportionality constant does not depend upon the target material.

Reason- Continuous X-rays are target independent.

Assertion- Wavelength of characteristic X-rays is given by 1λ1n12-1n22 in transition from n2 to n1. In the above relation proportionality constant is series dependent. For different series (K-series, L-series, etc) value of this constant will be different.

Reason- For L-series value of this constant is less than the value for K-series.

Assertion- If high pressure is applied to a radioactive substance, rate of radioactivity will increase.

Reason- Radioactivity is a nuclear process.

JEE Advanced
IMPORTANT

Assertion- At time t=0, the activity of a radioactive substance is 100 units. At t=1 s, it remains 90 units. Then at t=2 s, it should remain 80 units.

Reason- In the equal interval of time, percentage change is equal.

Assertion- If light continuously falls on a metal surface, then the emission of electrons will stop after some time.

Reason- We cannot extract all the electrons of a metal.

IMPORTANT
A metal surface is illuminated by the light of two different wavelengths 248 nm and 310 nm. The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are u1 and u2, respectively. If the ratio u1:u2=2:1 and hc=1240 eV nm, the work function of the metal is nearly

IMPORTANT
The radiation corresponding to 32 transition of the hydrogen atom falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. These electrons are made to enter a magnetic field of 3×10-4 T. If the radius of the largest circular path followed by these electrons is 10.0 mm, the work function of the metal is close to
