    Some radioactive nucleus may emit         

    A) Only one \[-13.6\ eV\] or \[\gamma \]at a time

    B) All the three \[_{92}{{U}^{238}}\] and \[\gamma \] one after another

    C) All the three \[\alpha ,\ \beta \] and \[\gamma \] simultaneously

    D) Only\[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] simultaneously

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] No radioactive substance emit both \[\alpha \]and \[\beta \]particles simultaneously. Some substances emit \[\alpha -\]particles and some other emits \[\beta -\]particles. \[\gamma -\]rays are emitted along with both \[\alpha \]and\[\frac{4E}{3}-E=\frac{hc}{\lambda '}\Rightarrow \frac{E}{3}=\frac{hc}{\lambda '}\ \ \therefore \frac{\lambda '}{\lambda }=3\Rightarrow \lambda '=3\lambda \]particles.
