Answer:
Since the wavelength would be reduced by the factor of N where N is the index of refraction, fringes would be be closer to one another.
(Similar to the difference of fringes of red light and blue light.)
A nucleus with mass number 229 emits a 3.443 MeV alpha particle. Calculate the disintegration energy Q for this process, taking the recoil energy of the residual nucleus into account.
Answer:
3.504 MeV
Explanation:
Given that;[tex]\frac{A}{Z} X ---->\frac{A-4}{Z-2} Y +\alpha + Q[/tex]
Also;
[tex]Q= KE_{\alpha } (M_{Y} + M_{\alpha } /M_{Y[/tex])
Mass number of X = 229
Mass number of Y = 225
Mass number of alpha particles = 4
Kinetic energy of alpha particles = 3.443 MeV
Q = 3.443 MeV (225 + 4/225)
Q= 3.504 MeV
