- Please explain with every step how to solve this equation. I have seen it worked out before so I know the math and the answer but I really need it explained well so that I understand it. Find the frequency and wavelength of a 50 Mev Gamma ray photonDetermine the binding energy per nucleon for U. Express your answer in mega-electron volts to three significant figures. Temptates Symbols undo regio Teset keyboard shortcuts help BEper uucleon= MeVA pair of nuclei for which Z, = N, and Z, = N, are called mirror isobars. (The atomic and neutron numbers are interchangeable.) Binding-energy measurements on such pairs can be used to obtain 1 evidence of the charge independence of nuclear forces. Charge independence means that the proton-proton, proton-neutron, and neutron-neutron forces are approximately equal. Calculate the 15 15 N. (For the atomic masses, see this table. Give the magnitude.) 7 difference in binding energy for the two mirror nuclei 8 O and 0.1076 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. MeV
- [The radius of a nuclei may be approximated by R ≈ 1.2A1/3 fm] In the experiment of Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden an alpha particle (4He nucleus) of energy 7.7 MeV was incident on a gold nucleus 197Au Estimate the distance of closest approach for a head-on collision. [Hint: Use conservation of energy.] Later experiments used the same energy of alpha particles on 27Al and they noted that thesimple Coulomb scattering picture broke down for backscattered alpha particles. Use this information to estimate the size of the aluminium nucleus. What approximations have youmade?Calculate the thickness of Al and Cu required to attenuate narrow, collimated, monochromatic beams of 0.1-MeV and 0.8-MeV gamma rays to: (use appendix A) a. One-half of the incident beam (HVL) b. One-tenth the incident intensity (TVL). Express the answers in cm and in g/cm²An isotope decays radioactively, so the amount decreases exponentially. Initially, there were 28 grams of the isotope, but three years later there were only 7 grams. (You must show work, and simplify your answers, although it's OK to leave e and ln in them.) a. Give a formula for the amount of the isotope after t years. b. How much of the isotope will remain, nine years after the start? c. How long after the start will there be only 14 grams of the isotope left?
