JEE Physics Practice Question
Suppose a ${ }_{88}^{226} R a$ nucleus at rest and in ground state undergoes $\alpha$-decay to a ${ }_{86}^{222} R n$ nucleus in its excited state. The kinetic energy of the emitted $\alpha$ particle is found to be $4.44 \mathrm{MeV}$. ${ }_{86}^{222} R n$ nucleus then goes to its ground state by $\gamma$-decay. What is the energy of the emitted $\gamma$ photon is $\mathrm{keV}$? [Given: atomic mass of ${ }_{88}^{226} R a=226.005 \mathrm{u}$, atomic mass of ${ }_{86}^{222} R n=222.000 \mathrm{u}$, atomic mass of $\alpha$ particle $=4.000 \mathrm{u}, 1 \mathrm{u}=931 \mathrm{MeV} / \mathrm{c}^{2}, \mathrm{c}$ is speed of the light]
