In beta-decay, all the emitted electron ...

In `beta-`decay, all the emitted electron do not have the same energy the same energy.
`beta-`decay is not a two body decay process.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) Since had it been a two body decay process (like `alpha-`decay), the momentum and energy considerations fix the energy of the emitted particles.
