Fusion reaction is initiated with the help of

(2) High temperature

(3) Neutrons                     

(4) Any particle

When a ${}_4{}^9\mathrm{Be}$ atom is bombarded with $\mathrm{\alpha }$ particles, one of the product of nuclear transmutation is ${}_6{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$. The other is 

(1) ${}_{-1}{}^0\mathrm{e}$           

(2) ${}_1{}^1\mathrm{H}$

(3) ${}_1{}^2\mathrm{D}$

During the nuclear fusion reaction 

(1) A heavy nucleus breaks into two fragments by itself

(2) A light nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up

(3) A heavy nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up

(4) Two light nuclei combine to give a heavier nucleus and  possibly other products

A gamma ray photon creates an electron- positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is 0.5 MeV and the total K.E. of the electron- positron pair is 0.78 MeV, then the energy of the gamma ray photon must be 

(1) 0.78 MeV                 

(2) 1.78 MeV

(3) 1.28 MeV                 

(4) 0.28 MeV

Which of the following statement is true 

(1) ${}_{78}\mathrm{Pt}_{192}$ has 78 neutrons

(3) ${}_{92}U_{238}\to {}_{90}\mathrm{Th}_{234}+{}_2\mathrm{He}_4$

(4) ${}_{90}\mathrm{Th}_{234}\to {}_{91}\mathrm{Pa}_{234}+{}_2\mathrm{He}_4$

Fast neutrons can easily be slowed down by 

(1) The use of lead shielding

(2) Passing them through heavy water

(3) Elastic collisions with heavy nuclei

(4) Applying a strong electric field

(3) 15.0 MeV               

(4) 1.02 MeV

A reaction between a proton and ${}_8\mathrm{O}_{18}$ that produces ${}_9\mathrm{F}_{18}$ must also liberate

(2) ${}_1\mathrm{e}_0$

(3) ${}_1\mathrm{n}_0$         

(4) ${}_0\mathrm{e}_1$
