Question 174: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

The Q-value of a nuclear reaction and kinetic energy of the projectile particle, K
p
are related as :

Accepted Answer

K
p
> 0
If Q is released $$\Rightarrow$$ Q > 0
$$\Rightarrow$$ K
p
+ Q > 0
Even the particle has to be given kinetic energy greater than magnitude of Q to maintain momentum conservation.
$$\Rightarrow$$ K + Q > 0

Answer

Q = K
p

Answer

(K
p
+ Q) < 0

Answer

Q < K
p

Answer

(K
p
+ Q) > 0
