A stationary nucleus of samarium-157 () emits a gamma-ray (γ-ray) photon of energy
. Determine, for one
-ray photon:
its wavelength
its momentum.
Using your answer to (b)(ii), determine the speed of the samarium-157 nucleus after emission of the photon.
By reference to your answer in (c)(i), explain quantitatively why the speed of the samarium-157 nucleus may be assumed to be negligible compared with the speed of the photon.
