Assertion : During `beta`-decay a proton converts into a neutron and an electron. No other particle is emitted.
Reason: During `beta`-decay linear momentum of system should remain constant.

A

(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

(c) If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

(d) If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Neutrino or antineutrino is also produced during `beta`-decay.
