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 in each case:

(a) Nickel-60 in an excited state, 1.33 MeV;

(b) Arsenic-80, 1.64 MeV;

(c) Iron-59, 1.10 MeV. (1 MeV = 1.602 * 10–13 J.)
