How many neutrons does the Fe-56 isotope contain? (a) 26 (b) 30 (c) 56 (d) 112
Please only answer part b. Thank you! (b) The negative muon (μ−) behaves like a heavy electron, with the same charge as the electron but with a mass 207 times as large as the electron mass. As a moving μ− comes to rest in matter, it tends to knock electrons out of atoms and settle down onto a nucleus to form a "one-muon" atom. For a system consisting of a nucleus of platinum (Pt195 with 78 protons and 117 neutrons) and just one negative muon, predict the energy in eV of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state. The high-energy photons emitted by transitions between energy levels in such "muonic atoms" are easily observed in experiments with muons.
