A free sationary Ir^(191) nucleus with excitation energy E=129 keV passes to the ground state, emitting a gamma quantum. Calculate the fractional change of gamma quanta energy due to recoil of the nucleus. |

Answer» Solution :With recoil NEGLECTED, the `gamma` quantum will have `129keV` enrgy. To a first APPROXIMATION, its momenturm will be `129keV//c` and the energy of recoil will be `((0.129)^(2))/(2xx191xx931)MeV= 4.18xx10^(-8)MeV` In the next approximation we therefore WRITE `E_(gamma)overset~-.129-8.2xx10^(-8)MeV` Therefore `(deltaE)/(E_(gamma))=3.63xx10^(-7)` |
