A radioactive nucleus of mass M emits a photon of frequency and the nucleus recoils. The recoil energy will be

  1. Mc2 - h
  2. h2 2/2Mc2
  3. zero
  4. h

Answer

(2) h2 2/2Mc2

Solution

Momentum of the photon: p = h c

By conservation of momentum, the nucleus recoils with an equal and opposite momentum p.

Recoil energy: E = p22M

= h2 22Mc2
