Consider the nuclear reaction 28 14Si + g S 24 12Mg + X
Chapter 43, Problem 43.46(choose chapter or problem)
Consider the nuclear reaction
\({ }_{14}^{28} \mathrm{Si}+\gamma \rightarrow{ }_{12}^{24} \mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{X}\)
where X is a nuclide. (a) What are Z and A for the nuclide X? (b) Ignoring the effects of recoil, what minimum energy must the photon have for this reaction to occur? The mass of a \({ }_{14}^{28} \mathrm{Si}\) atom is 27.976927 u, and the mass of a \({ }_{12}^{24} \mathrm{Mg}\) atom is 23.985042 u.
