A nucleus at rest undergoes a decay emitting an alpha -particle of de-broglie wavelength lambda = `5.76 xx 10^(-15) m`. The mass of daughter nucleus is 223.40 amu and that of alpha-particle is 4.002 a.m.u.detrmine the total kinetic energy in the final state.Hence,obtain teh mass of the parent nucleus in a.m.u.
Given that `1 a.m.u.=931.470 MeV`.

The mass of _3Li^7 nucleus is 0.042 a.m.u. less than the sum of masses of its nucleons.Find th binding energy per nucleon.

The nucleus of an atom of ._(92)Y^(235) initially at rest decays by emitting an alpha particle. The binding energy per nucleon of parent and dougther nuclei are 7.8MeV and 7.835MeV respectively and that of alpha particles is 7.07MeV//"nucleon". Assuming the dougther nucleus to be formed in the unexcited state and neglecting its share of energy in the reaction, calculate speed of emitted alpha particle. Take mass of alpha particle to be 6.68xx10^(-27)kg .

An alpha particle having 12.5 MeV kinetic energy collides with copper nucleus (Z=29) and retraces it s path .What is the size of the nucleus? Given, 1/(4 pi e_0) = 9 xx 10^9 N m^2 C^(-2) .
