Uranium-233 decays to thorium-229 by α decay, but the emissions have different energies and products: 83% emit an α particle with energy of 4.816 MeV and give 229Th in its groundstate; 15% emit an α particle of 4.773 MeV and give 229Th in ex-cited state I; and 2% emit a lower energy α particle and give 229Th in the higher excited state II. Excited state II emits a γ ray of 0.060 MeV to reach excited state I. (a) Find the γ ray energyand wavelength that would convert excited state I to the groundstate. (b) Find the energy of the α particle that would convert 233U to excited state II.

The mass of the hydrogen atom is smaller than the sum of the masses of the proton and the electron, the difference being the binding energy. The mass of the n* is 139.6 MeV/c2 ; however, the masses of the quarks of which it is composed are only a few MeV/c2 . How can that be explained?
The expanded knowledge about the atomic structure, isotopes and radioactivity gave rise to several important technical applications of radiation and radioisotopes in medicine, particularly for diagnosis and therapy of various medical conditions. Today more than a quarter of the world's population will eventually rely on some form of diagnostic nuclear medicine and about one tenth of the population will undergo therapy with radioisotopes each year. Which radioisotopes are most commonly used in nuclear medicine procedures today? What are those radioisotopes commonly used for in medicine? Diagnostic tests, tracers for detection and/or treatment? Discuss potential risks of two of those radioisotopes commonly used in nuclear medicine with respect to health care personnel, public health and the environment.
