The newly formed xenon nucleus is left in an excited state. thus, when it decays to a state of lower energy a gamma ray is emitted. if the wavelength of the emitted gamma ray is 3.44×10−12 m , what is the decrease in mass, δmxe, of the xenon nucleus as a result of this decay?

3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca

We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.

C=f*lambda

3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12

F=0.87*10^20 hz

Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation

E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant

E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34

E=575.94*10^(-16)

With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.

With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.

Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you

3.87*10^-4 u.

The correct option is B. A medium refers to a material that are used to create a work of art. Artists use media to create work of art in order to communicate their ideas. Some examples of media are oil paint, tempera, emulsion, water colour, pastel, fresco, acrylic, marble and bronze. For sculpture, there are two types of medium, hard and soft medium.
