Modern Physics 5 Question 10

10. A nucleus with mass number 220 initially at rest emits an α-particle. If the Q value of the reaction is 5.5MeV, calculate the kinetic energy of the α-particle

(2003,2M)

(a) 4.4MeV

(b) 5.4MeV

(c) 5.6MeV

(d) 6.5MeV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given that K1+K2=5.5MeV

From conservation of linear momentum,

p1=p2 or 2K1(216m)=2K2(4m) as p=2KmK2=54K1

Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

K2=KE of α-particle =5.4MeV.
