Question:

When the nucleons rearrange in the following daughter nuclei, the energy changes by the amount shown and a γ-ray is emitted. Determine the frequency and wavelength of the γ-ray emitted in the decay of each of following nuclides:

(a) Iron-53, 3.04 MeV;

(b) Vanadium-52, 1.43 MeV;

(c) Scandium-44, 0.27 MeV. (1 MeV = 1.602 * 10–13 J.)
