Q:

A  photon  of  X-ray  has  energy  of  1  keV.  A photon of visible radiation has energy of 3 eV.  In  this  context,  which  one  of  the following statements is not correct?

A) The wavelength of X-ray photon is less than the wavelength of visible radiation photon. B) Both    the    photons    have    different energies.
C) The  speeds  of  both  the  photons  in vacuum are different D) The   frequency   of   X-ray   photon   is higher  than  the  frequency  of  visible radiation photon.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The  speeds  of  both  the  photons  in vacuum are different

Explanation:

The speed of all the electromagnetic radiation are always   same   and   equal   to   the numerical value 3 x 10^8m/sec.

Q:

For an ideal gas, which one of the following statements does not hold true?

A) The speed of all gas molecules is same B) The kinetic energies of all gas molecules are not same
C) The potential energy of the gas molecules is zero D) There is no interactive force between the molecules.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The speed of all gas molecules is same

Explanation:

In an ideal gas, at any particular time, different particles in the gas have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies. This assumption is reasonable because as the particles collide, we expect their speed to change. Even if initial speed of all the particles was same, the molecular collisions will disrupt this uniformity.Hence statement 1 is incorrect and 2 is correct.
