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
-particles.
