To determine the half-life of a radioactive element, a student plots a graph of lndN(t)dt versus t. Where, dN(t)dt is the rate of radioactive decay at time t. If the number of radioactive nuclei of this element decreases by a factor of p after 4.16 yr, the value of p is

A tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge q is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength 81π7×105 V m-1. When the field is switched off, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity 2×10-3 m s-1. Given, g=9.8 m s-2, the viscosity of the air=1.8×10-5 N s m-2, and the density of the oil=900 kg m-3, the magnitude of q is

Assertion (A)- When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is V0 and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is Kmax. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by X-rays, both V0 and Kmax increase.

Reason (R)- Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value, because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
