A nucleus 
, initially at rest, undergoes alpha-decay according to the equation.
A
Find the values of A and Z in the above process.
B
The alpha particle produced in the above process is found to move in a circular track of radius 0.11 m in a uniform magnetic field of 3 tesla. Find the energy (in MeV ) released during the process and the binding energy of the parent nucleus X . Given that 
. 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
( 
)
From the relation ,
From the conservation of momentum ,
∴ Total energy released 
Total binding energy of daughter products
∴ Binding energy of parent nucleus
