Alpha Decay ||Beta Decay and Pauli Concept

Nuclei X decay into nuclei Y by emitting alpha -aprticles. Energies of alpha -particle are found to be only 1 MeV & 1.4 MeV . Disregarding the recoil of nuclei Y . The energy of gamma photon emitted will be

When nucleus of an electrically neutral atom undergoes a radioactive decay process, it will remain neutral after the decay if the process is (a) An alpha - decay (b) A bete^(o+) -decay (c ) A gamma -decay (d) A K - caputure process

Staements I: ._zX^4 undergoes 2 alpha -decays, 2 beta -decays (negative beta ) and 2 gamma -decays. As a result, the daughter product is ._z-2X^(A-B) . Staements II: In beta -decay, the mass number decreases by 4 unit and atomic number decreases by 2 unit. In beta -decay (negative beta ), the mass number remains unchanged and atomic number increases by 1 unit. In gamma -decay, mass number and atomic number remain unchanged.

Calculate the kinetic energy of beta -particles and the radiation frequencies corresponding to the gamma -decays shown in figure. Given, mass of ._12Mg^27 atom =26.991425 amu and mass of ._13Al^27 atom = 26.990080 amu
