Find the Q-value and the kinetic energy of the emitted α-particle in the α-decay of `""_88^226 "Ra"`.
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 `""_88^226"Ra"` emits a helium nucleus. As a result, its mass number reduces to (226 − 4) 222 and its atomic number reduces to (88 − 2) 86. This is shown in the following nuclear reaction.
\[\ce{^226_88 Ra -> ^222_86 Ra + ^4_2He}\]
Q-value of
emitted α-particle = (Sum of initial mass − Sum of final mass) c2
Where,
c = Speed of light
It is given that:
`"m"(""_88^226"Ra")` = 226.02540 u
`"m"(""_86^222"Rn")` = 222.01750 u
`"m"(""_2^4"He")` = 4.002603 u
Q-value = [226.02540 − (222.01750 + 4.002603)] u c2
= 0.005297 u c2
But 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2
∴ Q = 0.005297 × 931.5 ≈ 4.94 MeV
Kinetic energy of the α-particle = `("Mass number after decay"/"Mass number before decay") xx "Q"`
` = 222/226 xx 4.94 = 4.85 " 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.
