11. Fusion reactions take place at high temperature because

12. Samples of two radioactive nuclides A and B are taken λA and λB are the disintegration constants of A and B respectively. In which of the following cases, the two samples can simultaneously have the same decay rate at any time?

13. The process of radioactive radiations remains unaffected due to

14. Nuclear forces exists between

15.  Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus Triton contains 2 neutrons and 1 proton. Free neutrons decay into p + e¯+v¯. If one of the neutrons in Triton decays, it would transform into He3 nucleus. This does not happen. This is becauseTriton energy is less than that of a He3\ nucleus.
