In an alpha -decay, the kinetic energy of alpha particle is 48 (MeV) and Q value of the reaction is 50MeV . The mass number of the mother nucleus is (Assume that daughter nucleus is in ground state).

The alpha -decay of nucleus X^(230) is accompanied by emission of two groups of alpha- particles-one group having alpha- particles of kinetic energy 6.7MeV and other having alpha -particles of kinetic energy 5.2 MeV. Following the emission of these particles the daugheter muclei are found in ground and exiceted states. find the energy of gamma photon. that is subsequenctly emitted by de-exictation of the excited daughter nuclei. Assume that nuclei of X^(230) are at rest.

The nucleus with atomic number 184 initially at rest an alpha-particle, if Q value of reaction is 5.5 MeV. Calculate KE of alpha-particle

In the alpha -decay process occuring in different types of nuclei at rest (i) the K.E. of the daughter nucleus is always greater than the K.E. of the alpha -particle (ii) the K.E. of the daughter nucleus is always less than the K.E. of the alpha -particle (iii) the magnitudes of the linear momenta of the alpha -particle and the daughter nucleus are always equal (iv) the daughter nucleus is always in a stable state

A nucleus ""^(220)X at rest decays emitting an alpha -particle . If energy of daughter nucleus is 0.2 MeV , Q value of the reaction is
