Question

A beta-minus particle undergoes a Bremsstrahlung interaction with the nucleus of a tungsten
atom. Before the interaction, the beta-minus particle had 690 keV of kinetic energy, and the
energy of the Bremsstrahlung photon is 75 keV. How much energy is retained by the beta-
minus particle?

3. A beam of helium-3 atoms (m = 3.016 u) is incident on a target of nitrogen-14 atoms (m = 14.003 u) at rest. Dur- ing the collision, a proton from the helium-3 nucleus passes to the nitrogen nucleus, so that following the col- lision there are two atoms: an atom of "heavy hydro- gen" (deuterium, m = 2.014 u) and an atom of oxygen-15 15.003 u). The incident helium atoms are moving at (m a velocity of 6.346 × 10° m/s. After the collision, the deu- terium atoms are observed to be moving forward (in the same direction as the initial helium atoms) with a velocity of 1.531 x 10' m/s. (a) What is the final velocity of the oxygen-15 atoms? (b) Compare the total kinetic energies before and after the collision.
Alpha particles of kinetic energy 6.9M V are incident at a rate of 3.1x 10" per second on a copper foil of thickness 3.1 x 10-m. A circular detector of diameter 1.0cm is placed 13cm from the foil at an angle of 30° with the direction of the incident alpha particles. At what rate does the detector measure scattered alpha particles? (The molar mass of copper is 63.5 and its density is 8.9em-)
