For the beta^+ (positron) emission from a nucleus, there is another competing process known as electron capture (electron from an inner orbit, say, the K-shell, is captured by the nucleus and a neutrino is emitted). e^+ + ""_Z^AX to ""_(Z - 1)^(A)Y + upsilon Show that if beta^+ emission is energetically allowed, electron capture is necesarily allowed but not vice - versa.

Identify the pictures given below (a) Name the emission from these products, substances, locations which are harmful to environment. (b) In which way does these emissions affect the environment.

Along with beta minus decay -particle emission from a radioactive nucleus one more particle with zero charge is emitted to conserve the energy and momentum. This particle is called _______ .

Co^57 decays to Fe^57 by beta^+ -emission.The resulting Fe^57 is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting gamma -rays.The half-life of beta^+ -decay is 270 days and that of the gamma -emission is 10^(-8) s.A sample of Co^57 given 5.0xx10^9 gamma rays per second.How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to 2.5xx10^9 per second ?
