|---|---|
a. | 20 |
b. | 39 |
c. | 19 |
d. | 58 |
Answer
b.Explanation
In , 19 represent the number of protons in nucleus, and 39 represent numbers of protons and neutrons in potassium nucleus. Therefore numbers of nucleons in a nucleus of is 39.
Question 103
Question
MCQ▾A beam of cathode rays passes through an electric field between two parallel plates.
A Beam of Cathode Inserted between Two Parallel Plates
In which direction is the beam deflected?
Choices
| Choice (4) | |
|---|---|
a. | out of the page |
b. | into the page |
c. | towards the top of the page |
d. | towards the bottom of the page |
Answer
c.Explanation
Cathode rays carries negative charges, so when it passes through two plates as shown in figure positively charged plate attract this beam of cathode rays, therefore it deflected towards the top of the page.
