Whether the alpha particle speed up after leaving the nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The speed up of the alpha particle due to leaving from nucleus depends on the medium of the alpha particle emission.
The alpha particle releases the considerable amount of energy that provides the kinetic energy to alpha particle. The alpha particle speeds up due to this kinetic energy.
If the medium in which the alpha particle produced is vacuum then the electron speed up by the kinetic energy. If the medium is other than vacuum then the kinetic energy lost due to resistance of the medium.
Conclusion:
Thus, the alpha particle speed up in the vacuum after leaving the nucleus of the.
