suppose that a particle at rest with mass m decays into a photon and another particle with mass m/2 , which recoilds in a direct

ion opposite to the photon. Using the conservation of energy and momentum find the momentum of the recoiling particle

Answer:

p_r=\frac{h}{\lambda}

Explanation:

To find the momentum of the recoiling particle you can use the momentum formula for a photon:

p=\frac{h}{\lambda}

before the decay the momentum is zero. Hence, after the decay the momentum of the photon plus the momentum of the recoiling particle must be zero:

p_a=p_b\\\\\frac{h}{\lambda}-\frac{m}{2}v=0\\\\p_r=\frac{m}{2}v=\frac{h}{\lambda}

where pr is the momentum of the recoiling particle.

How does critical mass play a role in nuclear reactions?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

C.It is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fission reaction.

Explanation;

-A critical mass is the smallest or the minimum amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. A critical mass must be achieved in order for the chain reaction to continue and release the atomic energy. A critical mass is needed for both a nuclear reactor and an atomic or hydrogen bomb.

-The critical mass of a fissionable material depends upon its nuclear properties (specifically, the nuclear fission cross section), its density, its shape, its enrichment, its purity, its temperature, and its surroundings.
