Atomic number after a beta -emission from a nucleus having atomic number 40, will be:

Assertion : gamma - radiation emission occurs after alpha and beta decay. Reason : Energy levels occur in nucleus.

for the beta^(+) (positron) emission from a nucleus, there is another competing process known as electron capture. Electron from an inner orbit (say K shell) is captured by the nucleus and neutrino is emitted. Show that if beta^(+) emission is energetically allowed, electron capture is necessarily allowed but not vice -versa.

Assertion. Snakes exposed to gamma rays become non- poisonous. Reason. Poisonous snakes have poison glands and a pair of fangs. They are affected by gamma rays.

In a gamma decay process, the internal energy of a nucleus of mass M decreases, a gamma photon of energy E and linear momentum E/c is emitted and the nucleus recoils. Find the decrease in internal energy.

An electron-positron pair is produced when a gamma -ray photon of energy 2.36MeV passes close to a heavy nucleus. Find the kinetic energy carried by each particle produced, as well as the total energy with each.

Why do X-rays and gamma rays induce mutations?

X-rays and gamma -rays of same energies are distinguished by their

Assertion: Between alpha, beta and gamma radiations, penetrating power of gamma -rays is maximum. Reason : Ionising power of gamma -rays is least.

Assertion : gamma -rays are produced by the transition of a nucleus from some higher energy state to some lower energy state. Reason : Electromagnetic waves are always produced by the transition process.
