In 1911, the physical Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a tiny, dense nucleus by shooting positively charged particles at a very thin gold foil. A key physical property which led Rutherford to use gold was that it was
MEDIUM

In Thomson's experiment for the determination of em of electron, electric field of intensity 'E' only is applied. Now the deflection produced by the electron beam is directly proportional to:

HARD
Consider a hydrogen-like ionized atom with atomic number Z with a single electron. In the emission spectrum of this atom, the photon emitted in the n=2 to n= 1 transition has energy 74.8 eV higher than the photon emitted in the n=3 to n=2 transition. Given that the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV, what is the value of Z?
HARD

Consider the following statement:

(I) All isotopes of elements have the same number of neutrons.

(II) Only one isotope of an element can be stable and non-radioactive.

(III) All elements have isotopes.

(IV) All isotopes of Carbon can form chemical compounds with Oxygen-16.

The correct option regarding an isotope is:

An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from second Bohr orbit to ground state and the energy difference of the two states is radiated in the form of photons. These are then allowed to fall on a metal surface having a work-function equal to 4.2 eV, then the stopping potential is [Energy of electron in nth orbit =-13.6n2 eV]
