which a `U^(238)` nucleus original at rest , decay by emitting an alpha particle having a speed `u` , the recoil speed of the residual nucleus is

A

`-4 u//234`

B

`v//4`

C

`-4v//238`

D

`4v//238`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`0 = - 234 mv_(1) + 4 mv rArr v_(1) = (4 v)/( 234)`
