Question

Assertion :In alpha decay of different radioactive nuclides, the energy of alpha particles has been compared. It is found that as the energy of alpha particle increases the half-life of the decay goes on decreasing. Reason: More is the energy in any decay process, more is the probability of decaying the nuclide which leads to faster rate of decay.

A
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
