Sulphur `35`(34,96903 amu) emits a `beta-` particles but no `gamma`-rays. The product is c hlorine `-35` (`34,96885` amu),. The maximum energy carried by `beta-` particle is:

A

16.758 MeV

B

1.6758 MeV

C

0.16758 MeV

D

0.016758 MeV

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The mass converted into energy
`=34.96903` a.m.u. -34.96885 a.m.u.
`=1.8xx10^(-4)` a.m.u.
1 a.m.u. =931.5 MeV
`therefore` Energy produced `=1.8xx10^(-4)xx931.5`
=0.16758 MeV.
