Gamma ray photon emitted with has an energy

Reference no: EM13668543

A gamma ray photon emitted with 226Ra (m=226.0254406u) has an energy of 0.186MeV. Use conservation of linear momentum to compute the recoil speed of a 226Ra nucleus after such a gamma ray is emitted. Assume that the nucleus is at rest initially, and that relativistic effects can be ignored.
