Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted α-particle in the α-decay of `""_86^220"Rn"`.
Given `"m"(""_88^226"Ra")` = 226.02540 u, `"m"(""_86^222 "Rn")` = 222.01750 u,
`"m"(""_86^220 "Rn")`= 220.01137 u, `"m"(""_84^216 "Po")`= 216.00189 u.
उत्तर
Alpha particle decay of `(""_86^220"Rn")` is shown by the following nuclear reaction.
\[\ce{^220_86Rn -> ^216_84Po + ^4_2He}\]
It is given that:
Mass of `(""_86^220 "Rn")` = 220.01137 u
Mass of `(""_84^216 "Po")` = 216.00189 u
∴ Q-value = [220.01137 - (216.00189 +.00260)] × 931.5
≈ 641 MeV
Kinetic energy of the α-particle = `((220-4)/220) xx 6.41`
= 6.29 MeV

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.
