Statement-I: A nucleus having energy
decays by
emission to daughter nucleus having energy
, but the
rays are emitted with a continuous energy spectrum having end point energy
.
Statement-II: To conserve energy and momentum in
decay at least three particles must take part in the transformation.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Statement-I: Energy of
particle from 0 to maximum so
is the continuous energy spectrum.
Statement-II : For energy conservation and momentum at least three particles daughter nucleus
and antineutron.
