The wavelength of $K_{\alpha }$ X-rays for lead isotopes $P{b}^{208}, P{b}^{206}, P{b}^{204} are {\lambda }_1, {\lambda }_2 and {\lambda }_3$ respectively. Then

1. ${\lambda }_1={\lambda }_2>{\lambda }_3$   

2. ${\lambda }_1>{\lambda }_2>{\lambda }_3$

3. ${\lambda }_1<{\lambda }_2<{\lambda }_3$ 

4. ${\lambda }_2={\lambda }_1={\lambda }_3$

Solar energy is mainly caused due to [2003]

1. fusion of protons during synthesis of heavier elements

2. gravitational contraction

3. burning of hydrogen in the oxygen

4. fission of uranium present in the sun

A sample of radioactive elements contains $4\times {10}^{10}$ active nuclei. If half-life of element is 10 days, then the number of decayed nuclei after 30 days is 

1. $0.5\times {10}^{10}$   

2. $2\times {10}^{10}$

3. $3.5\times {10}^{10}$

4. $1\times {10}^{10}$
