The masses of a hydrogen atom, neutron and $${}_{92}^{238}{\text{U}}$$  are given by 1.0078, 1.0087 and 238.0508 respectively. The binding energy of $${}_{92}^{238}{\text{U}}$$  is therefore approximately equal to (taking 1 amu = 931.64 MeV)

Which one of the following disintegration series of the heavy elements will give ²⁰⁹Bi as a stable nucleus?

The lifetime of an atomic state is 1ns. The natural line width of the spectral line in the emission spectrum of this state is of the order of

The quark content of $$\sum {^ + } ,\,{K^ - },\,{\pi ^ - }$$   and p is indicated: $$\left| {\sum {^ + } } \right\rangle = \left| {uus} \right\rangle ;\,\left| {{K^ + }} \right\rangle = \left| {s\overline u } \right\rangle ;\,\left| \pi \right\rangle = \left| d \right\rangle ;\,\left| p \right\rangle = \left| {uud} \right\rangle $$
In the process, $${\pi ^ - } + p \to {K^ - } + \sum {^ + } ,$$     considering strong interactions only, which of the following statements is true?
