Question

22. The beta+ particle is another name for a(n): a. electrorn b. alpha particle c. Helium nucleus d. positrorn 23. Match the following terms with the appropriate unit for electromagnetic waves: 1, Hertz 2. Meter 3. Second wavelength a. b. c. frequency 24. Potassium's atomic number is 19, one of the naturally occurring isotopes of potassium is "k. How many neutrons does this nucleus contain? 25. If a 60 kev photon strikes an inner shell electron with a binding energy of 26 kev, the resulting photoelectron (ejected electron) will have an energy of a. 60 kev b. 34 kev c. 32 kev d. 26 kev 26. A radioactive source has a half-life of 17 days. What is the mean (average) life? 27. Radon is a decay product of naturally occurring uranium. Radon is also a daughter product of Radium decay. In the decay of 1 Ra to Rn, another particle is present. What is this particle? What is it's mass?

Explanation / Answer

22. beta + particle is also known as positron  

23.

wavelength measuered in meters

period measured in seconds

frequency measured in Hz

so the answer is a-2 ,b-3,c-1

24.

potassium atomic number is 19 , in 40 K , ther are

isotope is having same atomic number but different mass number

so the 40 K has the 40-19 nuetron = 21  

there are 21 neutrons in 40 K with atomic number 19 ( number of electrons)

where as mass number is ( N+P)

25.

if a 60 keV photon strikes an inner shell electron with a binding energy of 26 keV, the resulting photoelectron will have energy of

it will have the enetg of 34 keV difference of energies

26 .

from the relation T 1/2 = 0.693* T_mean

T_mean = T_1/2/0.693

T_mean = 17/0.693 days

T_mean = 24.53 days

27.

an alpha particle will present

the mass of alpha particle is 6.64424*10^-27 kg
