Question: 29
Mx and My denote the atomic mass of the parent and daughter nuclei respectively in radioactive decay. The Q-value for a β decay is Q 1 and that for β+ decay is Q 2. If me denotes the mass of an electron, then which of the following statement is correct?
(c is velocity of light in vacuum)
Options:
Q 1 = M x - M y c 2   and   Q 2 = M x - M y c 2 Q 1 = M x - M y - 2 m e c 2   and   Q 2 = M x - M y + 2 m e c 2 Q 1 = M x - M y c 2   and   Q 2 = M x - M y - 2 m e c 2 Q 1 = M x - M y + 2 m e c 2   and   Q 2 = M x - M y + 2 m e c 2
