Explanation:
Expression for the kinetic energy is as follows.
K.E =
Now, total kinetic energy will be as follows.
K.E =
=
Since, this energy converts into electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 121.6 nm.
Relation between energy and photon is as follows.
Energy of photon =
=
=
v =
=
m/s
Thus, we can conclude that atoms were moving at a speed of
m/s before the collision.
<u>Answer:</u> The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.
For the given fission reaction:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side
222 = A + 218
A = 4
Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side
86 = Z + 84
Z = 2
The isotopic symbol of unknown element is
. Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.
Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
