The velocity of alpha particles from polonium (atomic weight 210) is

1.6 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}

. What is the velocity of recoil atoms?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

3.1 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}

Option B (

3.1 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}

) is correct because the recoil velocity can be calculated using the conservation of momentum. The momentum of the alpha particle equals the momentum of the recoil atom.
