A nucleus with mass number `220` initially at rest emits an `alpha`-particle. If the Q-value of the reaction is `5.5 MeV`, calculate the kinetic energy of the `alpha`-particle.
(a) 4.4 MeV (b) 5.4 MeV (c) 5.6 MeV (d) 6.5 MeV

A

4.4

B

5.4

C

5.6

D

6.5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`K.E_(alpha)=((A-4)/(A))Q=(216)/(220)xx5.5=5.4 MeV`
