Q9-Q10. Based on the given text. Read the given text carefully and answer any three
questions of each.
CASE STUDY-1(Attempt any 3)
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
9. Neutrons and protons are identical particles in the sense that their masses are nearly
the same and the force, called nuclear force, does distinguish them. Nuclear force is the
strongest force. Stability of the nucleus is determined by the neutron proton ratio or
mass defect or packing fraction. Shape of nucleus is calculated by quadrupole moment
and spin of nucleus depends on even and odd mass number. Volume of the nucleus
depends on the mass number. Whole mass of the atom (nearly 99%) is centred at the
nucleus.
a. The correct statements about the nuclear force is/are
(a) charge independent
(b) short range force
(c) non-conservative force
(d) all of these.
b. A force between two protons is the same as the force between a proton and a
neutron. The nature of the force is
(a) electrical force
(b) weak nuclear force
(c) gravitational force
(d) strong nuclear force
c. two protons are kept at a separation of 40 Å. Fn is the nuclear force and Fe is

the electrostatic force between them. Then
(a) Fn <<Fe
(b) Fn= Fe
(c) Fn >> Fe
(d) Fn ≈ Fe
d. The range of nuclear force is the order of
(a) 2 x 10-10 m
(b) 1.5 x 10-20 m
(c) 1.2 x 10-4 m
(d) 1.4 x 10-15 m

10. An optical fibre is a thin tube of transport material that allows light to pass through,
without being refracted into the air or another external medium. It makes use of total
internal reflection. These fibres are fabricated in such a way that light reflected at one
side of the inner surface strikes the other at an angle larger than critical angle. Even if
fibre is bent, light can easily travel along the length.

of light?
