Statement -1: A nucleus having energy E_1 decays by beta^(-) emission to daughter nucleus having energy E_1 but the beta^(-) rays are emitted with a continuous energy spectrum having end point energy E_(1)-E_(2). Statement - 2: To conserve energy and momentum in beta -decay at least three particles must take part in the transformation.

Answer»

Statement-1 is correct but Statement-2 is not correct.
Statement-1 and Statement-2 both are correct and STATEMENTS 2 is correct explanation of Statement 1.
Statement-1 is correct, Statement-2 is correct and Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1
Statement-1 is incorrect, Statement-2 is correct.

Solution :Satement -1 : ENERGY of `beta` particle from 0 to maximum so `E_(1)-E_(2)` is the CONTINUOUS energy spectrum.
Statement-2 : For energy conservation and momentum at least three particles daughter NUCLEUS, `+beta^(-1)` and antineutron.
