Uranium-233 decays to thorium-229 by _ decay, but the emissions have different energies
Chapter 24, Problem 24.134(choose chapter or problem)
Uranium-233 decays to thorium-229 by _ decay, but the emissions have different energies and products: 83% emit an _ particle with energy of 4.816 MeV and give 229Th in its ground state; 15% emit an _ particle of 4.773 MeV and give 229Th in excited state I; and 2% emit a lower energy _ particle and give 229Th in the higher excited state II. Excited state II emits a _ ray of 0.060 MeV to reach excited state I. (a) Find the _-ray energy and wavelength that would convert excited state I to the ground state. (b) Find the energy of the _ particle that would convert 233U to excited state II.
