A ? ray photon emitted by has an energy of 0.186 MeV. Use

Chapter 32, Problem 87GP

(choose chapter or problem)

A \(\gamma\) ray photon emitted by \({ }_{88}^{226} R a\) has an energy of 0.186 MeV. Use conservation of linear momentum to calculate the recoil speed of a \({ }_{88}^{226} R a\) nucleus after such a ray is emitted. Assume that the nucleus is at rest initially, and that relativistic effects can be ignored.
