Specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by $C_p$ and $C_v$ respectively. If $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_v$ is equal to:

Name the plant growth regulator which,when sprayed on sugarcane crops,increases the length of the stem and thus increases the yield of sugarcane.

The centre of mass of three particles of masses $1 ~kg, 2 ~kg$ and $3 ~kg$ is at $(2,2,2)$. The position of the fourth mass of $4 ~kg$ to be placed in the system so that the new centre of mass is at $(0,0,0)$ is:

$A$ photon collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in the ground state inelastically. The energy of the colliding photon is $10.2 \, eV$. After a time interval of the order of a microsecond,another photon collides with the same hydrogen atom inelastically with an energy of $15 \, eV$. What will be observed by the detector?
