The energy of alpha particles emitted by `.^(210)Po` is 5.3 MeV. The half life of this alpha emitter is 138 days.
(a) What mass of `.^(210)Po` is needed to power a thermoelectric cell of 1 W ouput if the efficiency of energy conservation is 8 percent?
(b) What would be the power output after 1 year ?

If `A(alpha, beta)=[("cos" alpha,sin alpha,0),(-sin alpha,cos alpha,0),(0,0,e^(beta))]`, then `A(alpha, beta)^(-1)` is equal to

Correct Answer - A We have, `A(alpha, beta)^(-1)=1/e^(beta) [(e^(beta) cos alpha,-e^(beta) sin alpha,0),(e^(beta) sin alpha,e^(beta) cos alpha,0),(0,0,1)]` `=A(-alpha, -beta)`
