13.29 Obtain the maximum kinetic energy of $\mathit{\beta }$ -particles, and the radiation frequencies of  decays in the decay scheme shown in Fig. 13.6. You are given that

m( ${}_{}{}^{198}\mathit{A}\mathit{u}$ ) = 197.968233 u

m( ${}_{}{}^{198}\mathit{H}\mathit{g}$ ) =197.966760 u

$r=R_0{\left(192\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{r}{2}=R_0{\left(m\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$m=\frac{192}{8}=24$

Q = [4 *4.0026 – 15.9994] *931.5 MeV

Q = 10.2 MeV

$A=A_0{e}^{-\lambda t_1}$     [Radio active decay law]

$\frac{A}{5}=A_0{e}^{-\lambda \left(t_2-t_1\right)}$

$\Rightarrow Averagelife=\frac{1}{\lambda }=\frac{\left(t_2-t_1\right)}{\mathcal{l}n5}$  

$forA,t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4sec$  

$=m{A}_0{e}^{-}\frac{0.693}{4}\times 16$

$m_A=m_{A0}{e}^{-4\times 0.693}$    -(1)

for B,

for B,  $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=8sec$  

$m_B=m_{B_0}{e}^{-2\times 0.693}$               -(2)

$\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{m_{AO}}{m_{BO}}\frac{e^{-4}\times 0.693}{e^{-2}\times 0.693}$

$\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{x}{100}x=25$
