Explanation Given info: The photon energy emits by the F 57 e is 14.0 keV and the rest energy is M c 2 = 8.60 × 10 − 9 J . Since the total momentum is zero before decays. Then it is necessary after the decay that the momentum of the nucleus is equal to the momentum of the photon. Then, p nucleus = p photon = E γ c = 14.0 keV c Here, E γ is the energy emits by the F 57 e . c is the speed of light . The equation for the energy of the object is, E 2 = p 2 c 2 + ( m c 2 ) 2 Here, m is the mass of the F 57 e . For the nucleus recoiling, E 2 = p 2 c 2 + ( m c 2 ) 2 with M c 2 = 8.60 × 10 − 9 J . Thus, ( M c 2 + K ) 2 = ( 14.0 keV ) 2 + ( M c 2 ) 2 ( 1 + K M c 2 ) 2 = ( 14.0 keV M c 2 ) 2 + 1 Here, K is the kinetic energy. The term ( 14.0 keV M c 2 ) 2 is very much less than 1 . ( 14.0 keV M c 2 ) 2 < < 1 Then, ( 14

Particle Theory of Light

The particle theory of light was the proposal made by Newton in 1704 in his treatise Opticks. This is the most basic light theory, in which light is thought to be made up of microscopic particles known as "corpuscles" and that's why this particle theory …

Stopping Potential

In an experiment conducted by Heinrich Hertz, an apparatus was made where the incident light was made to fall on the metallic plate, it was discovered that metals emit electrons. The surface electrons are bound to metals with a minimum amount of energy a…

Quantization of Charges

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle either attached to an an atom or sticks to the nucleus of the atom. Electrons exert the negative charge that tries to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.

A beta-minus particle undergoes a Bremsstrahlung interaction with the nucleus of a tungsten atom. Before the interaction, the beta-minus particle had 690 keV of kinetic energy, and the energy of the Bremsstrahlung photon is 75 keV. How much energy is retained by the beta- minus particle?

Outside the nucleus, the neutron itself is radioactive and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. The half-life of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10-27 kg) outside the nucleus is 10.4 min. On average, over what distance x would a beam of 3.14-eV neutrons travel before the number of neutrons decreased to 75.0% of its initial value? Ignore relativistic effects. X =
