Radium ""^(226) Ra , spontaneously decays to radon with the emission of an alpha- particle and a gamma-ray . If the speed of the alpha particle upon emission from an initially stationary radium nucleus is 1.5 xx 10^(7) m/s, what is the recoil speed of the resultant radon nucleus ? Assume the momentum of gamma ray is negligible compared to that of alpha particle |
