A radioactive nucleus of mass

M

emits a photon of frequency

v

and the nucleus recoils. The recoil energy will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{{{h^2}{v^2}}}{{2M{c^2}}}

Option C (

\frac{{{h^2}{v^2}}}{{2M{c^2}}}

) is correct because the recoil energy can be derived from the conservation of momentum and energy, considering the emitted photon and the recoiling nucleus.
