Q1.Food irradiation is a process that exposes food to radiation. Irradiation can be used to kill
the bacteria that cause food poisoning or to slow down the ripening of fresh fruit and
vegetables. Frozen foods and food inside packaging can also be irradiated.
(a) The table gives information about five radioactive isotopes.
Isotope Half-life Radiation emitted
Caesium-134 2.1 years beta
Cobalt-60 5.3 years gamma
Curium-242 160 days alpha
Strontium-90 28 years beta
Technetium-
99
6 hours gamma
Which of these radioactive isotopes would be most suitable for irradiating
food?
Explain the reasons for your choice.

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)
