PASSAGE FOR QUESTION NOS. 12 &13

Experimental investigations about 160 years revealed, -emitters identify so far to reveal the several
systematic trends in a -decay. The empirical relations between the total disintegration energy (sum
of kinetic energies of -particle and daughter element), the atomic number, mass number and half
life (or decay constant) of -emitters obtained for experimental data are useful in formulating
theories of -decay.
The most striking of these trends is the relation between -energy and half-life of a nucleus. Most -
particles are emitted with energies between 4 and 9 MeV. Longer-lived nuclei emit the least
energetic -particle.
Energy versus half-life in  decay for two -emitter is given below

Observations also reveal that a change in the energy of -particles by a factor 2 or 3 corresponding
to factor of 1020 in half life or decay constant.
Read above passage carefully and answer the following questions.

When photons collide with hydrogen atoms in ground state, the atoms absorb the energy and rise to
an excited state. After a time of 10 8 sec, these atoms release photons to come to the ground state.
When the energy of a photon is greater than the ionization energy, it knocks out an electron from an
atom. In a certain experiment, a stationary hydrogen atom is being bombarded with a source such
that a single photon strikes the atom after every few nanoseconds. The incident photons have
different energies. The table below indicates the energies of the incident photon at different times.
