JEE Physics Practice Question
The isotope ${ }_{5}^{12} \mathrm{~B}$ having a mass 12.014 u undergoes $\beta$-decay to ${ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}$. ${ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}$ has an excited state of the nucleus $\left({ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}^{*}\right)$ at $4.041 \mathrm{MeV}$ above its ground state. If ${ }_{5}^{12} \mathrm{~B}$ decays to ${ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}^{*}$, what is the maximum kinetic energy of the $\beta$-particle in units of $\mathrm{MeV}$? $\left(1 \mathrm{u}=931.5 \mathrm{MeV} / c^{2}\right.$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum).
