Photoelectric EffectHard

Question

Nuclei X decay into nuclei Y by emitting a particles. Energies of a particle are found to be only 1 MeV & 1.4 MeV. Disregarding the recoil of nuclei Y. The energy of γ photon emitted will be

Options

A.0.8 MeV
B.1.4 MeV
C.1 MeV
D.0.4 MeV   

Solution

Energy of γ photon
           = Difference in energies
            of α particles = 0.4 MeV
