NEET2014PhysicsNuclear PhysicsActual
Assertion: The ratio for time taken for light emission from an atom to that for release of nuclear energy in fission is 1: 100 . Reason: Time taken for the light emission from an atom is of the order of 10⁻⁸ ~s .
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Time taken for the light emission from an atom 10⁻⁸ ~s . Time taken for release of energy in fission 10⁻⁶ Required ratio = 10⁻⁸ 10⁻⁶ = 1 100 =1: 100
