32 P beta-decays to 32 S. Find the sum of the energy of the antineutrino and the kinetic energy of the β-particle. Neglect the recoil of the daughter nucleus. Atomic mass of 32 P = 31.974 u and that of 32 S = 31.972 u.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Sum of energy of antineutrino and β-particle is must be equal to the energy difference between the P³² and S³² nuclei

Energy

where c²= (Speed of light)² = 931.5 MeV/u

Hence, the of sum of energy of antineutrino and β-particle is 1.863 MeV

32P beta-decays to 32S. Find the sum of the energy of the antineutrino and the kinetic energy of the β-particle. Neglect the recoil of the daughter nucleus. Atomic mass of 32P = 31.974 u and that of 32S = 31.972 u.

³²P beta-decays to ³²S. Find the sum of the energy of the antineutrino and the kinetic energy of the β-particle. Neglect the recoil of the daughter nucleus. Atomic mass of ³²P = 31.974 u and that of ³²S = 31.972 u.
