Modern Physics 3 Question 14

14. The electron emitted in beta radiation originates from

(a) inner orbits of atom

$(2001,2 M)$

(b) free electrons existing in nuclei

(c) decay of a neutron in a nucleus

(d) photon escaping from the nucleus

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. During $\beta$-decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton and an electron. This is why atomic number $(Z=$ number of protons) increases by one and mass number ( $A=$ number of protons + neutrons) remains unchanged during beta decay.
