What is the wavelenth of the `0.186 MeV` gamma- ray photon emitted by radium `._(88)^(226) Ra`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the wavelength of the 0.186 MeV gamma-ray photon emitted by radium, we can use the relationship between energy and wavelength given by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Where: - \(E\) is the energy of the photon, ...
