The particle released when a photon strikes lithium along with alpha particle
Answer to Problem 21Q
Solution:
Helium 3. When a photon strikes lithium, it releases alpha particle and helium
Explanation of Solution
When a photon strikes lithium, it gives
From above equation there are a total of 4 protons and 3 neutrons in the reactant particles. The alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and other product particle must have 2 protons and 1 neutron. Hence the other particle must be of helium. Only helium has protons.
