Which of the following processes represents a gamma-decay?

Question

Q. The disintegration energy

Q

for the changes involving

e^{+}

decay and

e^{-}

decay as well as for K-electron capture are given below:

_{Z}^{A} X ⟶_{Z + 1}^{A} Y + e^{-} + ¯ v; Q = [M (X] - M (Y)] \times c^{2}

_{Z}^{A} X ⟶_{Z + 1}^{A} Y + e^{-} + v; Q = [M (X] - M (Y)] \times c^{2}

_{Z}^{A} X + e^{-} ⟶_{Z + 1}^{A} Y + v; Q = [M (X] - M (Y)] \times c^{2}

For either of these decays :

Answer 1

Answer 2

During the emission of a gamma radiation, both the mass number and the atomic number remain the same. Hence the correct choice is C.

The correct option is C AZX→AZX+fDuring the emission of a gamma radiation, both the mass number and the atomic number remain the same. Hence the correct choice is C.
