Question

The -decay process, discovered around 1900 , is basically the decay of a neutron (n) . In the laboratory, a proton (p) and an electron (e⁻ ) are observed as the decay products of the neutron. Therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a two-body decay process, it was predicted theoretically that the kinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kineti

Correct answer: C. Nearly 0.8 10⁶ eV

K_ p ⁻+K_ e ⁻+K_ v ⁻=0.8 10⁶ eV When K_ e ⁻=0 then K_ p ⁻+K_ v ⁻=0.8 10⁶ eV Mass of v < < P maximum energy of anti-neutrino is nearly 0.8 10⁶ eV .
