The electron emitted in beta radiation originates from

A

inner orbits of atoms

B

free electrons existing in nuclei

C

decay of a neutron in a nuclues

D

photon escaping from the nucleus

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
We know that in a nucleus, neutron converts into proton as follows:
`n rarr P^(+) +e^(bar)`
Thus, decay of neutron is responsible for `beta`-radiation orgination.

Name the instrument used to measure temperature using the radiation emitted from the body ?

Assertion(A) Black body is an ideal body that emits and absorbs radiations of all frequencies. Reason(R) The frequency of radiation emitted by a body goes from a lower frequency to higher frequency with an increase in temperature.

Assertion (A) : Nucleus of the atom does not contain electrons, yet it emits beta- particles in the form of electrons. Reason (R): In the nucleus , protons and neutrons exchange mesons frequently.
