In the decay `^64(Cu) rarr `^64(Ni)+e^+v,`the maximum kinetic energy carried by the netrino which was emitted together with a positron of kinetic energy 0.150 meV? (b)What is the momentum of this neutrino in kg m `s^(-1)`?Use the formula applicable to photon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
``^(64)C_u rarr ^(64)Ni + -e + v`
Emission of neutrino is along with a
positron emission.
(a) Energy of positron = 0.650 MeV
Energy of Neutrino
`= 0.650 - KE of given positron`
`= 0.650 - 0.150`
`= 0.5 MeV = 500 KeV`.
(b) Momentum of Nutrino
`=(500 x 1.6 xx 10^(-19))/(3 xx 10^(8)) xx 10^3J `
`= 2.67 xx 10^(-27) Kg//ms` .

(a) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 150 eV. As you have seen in Exercise 11.31, an electron beam of this energy is suitable for crystal diffraction experiments. Would a neutron beam of the same energy be equally suitable? Explain. (m_(n) = 1.675 xx 10^(-27) kg) (b) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength associated with thermal neutrons at room temperature (27^(@)C) . Hence explain why a fast neutron beam needs to be thermalised with the environment before it can be used for neutron diffraction experiments.
