Class 12th Physics 2017 Set1 Delhi Board Paper Solution
Write the basic nuclear processes underlying β + and β − decays.
From the principle of conservation energy and angular momentum β particle spin is 1/2 (= h/2π), so the change must be of the same order, however it is found that spin is either unchanged or it faces an integral change. Neutrino Hypothesis successfully explains the phenomena. β − is used for an e- and β + is used for an e+. An excited proton rich nucleus gets stability by capturing K-shell orbital e-.
For a β − decay, a neutron transforms into a proton within the nucleus as:
and for a β + decay, a proton transforms into a neutron within the nucleus.
