When a sample of a radioactive isotope decays by
-particle emission, the
-particles emitted have a single discrete energy. When a sample of a radioactive isotope decays by
particle emission, the
particles emitted have a continuous range of energies. What is the explanation for this?
An antineutrino is emitted with a
particle but not with an
-particle.
An antineutrino is emitted with an
-particle but not with a
particle.
The
-particles have much more energy than the
particles.
The
particles have much more energy than the
