Arnongst a, beta , gamma .7.rays, a particle has maximum penetrating power.

._^(239)Pu._(94) is undergoing alpha-decay according to the equation ._(94)^(239)Pu rarr (._(97)^(235)U) +._2^4 He . The energy released in the process is mostly kinetic energy of the alpha -particle. However, a part of the energy is released as gamma rays. What is the speed of the emiited alpha -particle if the gamma rays radiated out have energy of 0.90 MeV ? Given: Mass of ._(94)^(239)Pu =239.05122 u , mass of (._(97)^(235)U)=235.04299 u and mass of ._1^4He =4.002602 u (1u =931 MeV) .
