    A radioactive nucleus of mass M emits a photon of frequency d and the nucleus recoils. The recoil energy will be:

    A) \[\frac{{{h}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}{2M{{c}^{2}}}\]                      

    B) Zero   

    C) hv                                

    D) \[{{\operatorname{Mc}}^{2}}-hv\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\operatorname{Momentum} of photon=\frac{hv}{e}\] From the law of conversation of linear momentum \[{{\operatorname{P}}_{nuclear}} ={{P}_{photon}}\] \[\operatorname{Mv}=\frac{hv}{e}\] \[v=\frac{hv}{Me}\] \[\operatorname{K}.E of nucleus=\frac{1}{2}M{{\left[ \frac{hv}{Mc} \right]}^{2}}=\frac{{{h}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}{2M{{c}^{2}}}\]
