Question:
When a neutron is captured by an atomic nucleus, energy is released as γ radiation. This energy can be calculated based on the change in mass in converting reactants to products.
For the nuclear reaction
(a) Calculate the energy evolved in this reaction (per atom). Masses needed (in g/mol) are
(b) Use the answer in part (a) to calculate the wavelength of the γ rays emitted in the reaction.
