प्रश्न
The nucleus `""_10^23"Ne"` decays by `beta^(-)`emission. Write down the β decay equation and determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted. Given that:
`"m"(""_10^23 "Ne")` = 22.994466 u
`"m"(""_11^23 "Na")` = 22.989770 u.
उत्तर
In `beta^(-)` emission, the number of protons increases by 1, and one electron and an antineutrino are emitted from the parent nucleus.
`beta^(-)` emission of the nucleus `""_10^23"Ne"` is given as:
\[\ce{^23_10 Ne -> ^23_11Na + e- + \bar{v} + Q}\]
It is given that:
Atomic mass of ,`"m"(""_10^23 "Ne")`= 22.994466 u
Atomic mass of `"m"(""_11^23 "Na")` = 22.989770 u
Mass of an electron, me = 0.000548 u
Q-value of the given reaction is given as:
`"Q" = ["m"(""_10^23"Ne") - ["m"(""_11^23 "Na") + "m"_"e")]]"c"^2`
There are 10 electrons in `""_10^23"Ne"` and 11 electrons in . Hence, the mass of the electron is cancelled in the Q-value equation.
`therefore "Q" = [22.994466 - 22.989770]"c"^2`
`= (0.004696 "c"^2)"u"`
But 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2
`therefore "Q" = 0.004696 xx 931.5 = 4.374 "MeV"`
The daughter nucleus is too heavy as compared to `"e"^(-)` and `bar"v"`. Hence, it carries negligible energy. The kinetic energy of the antineutrino is nearly zero. Hence, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is almost equal to the Q-value, i.e., 4.374 MeV.

Deuteron is a bound state of a neutron and a proton with a binding energy B = 2.2 MeV. A γ-ray of energy E is aimed at a deuteron nucleus to try to break it into a (neutron + proton) such that the n and p move in the direction of the incident γ-ray. If E = B, show that this cannot happen. Hence calculate how much bigger than B must E be for such a process to happen.
Before the neutrino hypothesis, the beta decay process was throught to be the transition, `n -> p + vece`. If this was true, show that if the neutron was at rest, the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally, the electron energy was found to have a large range.
