Question: Which of the following processes represents a gamma-decay [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2002]

Options:

A) $ ^{A}X_{Z}+\gamma ,\to {{,}^{A}}{X_{Z-1}}+a+b $

B) $ ^{A}X_{Z}{{+}^{1}}n_{0},\to {{,}^{A-3}}{X_{Z-2}}+c $

C) $ ^{A}X_{Z},\to {{,}^{A}}X_{Z}+f $

D) $ ^{A}X_{Z}+{e_{-1}},\to {{,}^{A}}{X_{Z-1}}+g $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

In a gamma decay process. There is no change in either A or Z.
