why neutron get so little energy in fission reaction as compare to fission fragments?
according to formula
Em=Ef(M)/(m+M)
m=mass of small fragment
M= mass of relatively big fragment
Ef=fission energy
by the same logic neutron should get highest share due to their lower mass. i am missing...
thanks for the directions. but from where prompt neutron get energy? is it not come from the fission of the neucleus? if neutron get energy share from the fission energy then it should get very high energy. if it not then please clear the point. or refer me a good link about that monstrous energy.
lighter mass=m
heavier mass=M
energy of mass m=Em
energy of mass M= EM
fission energy=Ef
law of conservation of energy
Ef=1/2m(vm)^2+1/2M(vm)^2 (vm=velocity of mass m)
Ef=(1/2m^2(vm)^2)/m+(1/2M^2(vM)^2)/M
law of conservation of momentum
M(vM)=m(vm)
so
Ef=(1/2m^2(vm)^2)/m+(1/2m^2(vm)^2)/m...
sir! according to that formula lower mass should get more energy. neutron is lighter than the fissioned fragments. then why it gets less energy? thanks
i already mentioned there is something to do with mass (hence momentum). i know the fissioned nuclei and neutron can scatter at different angles after fission. and so we get continious spectrum. but my question is why neutron get less energy. as if neutron's mass is low it can get high speed to...
Homework Statement
when fission occurs why neutron get less energy as compare to the daughter nuclei? i need both physical and mathematical explanation.

i think it is due to the small mass of neutron. but i am not sure as it is not satisfactory. a...

I know it very well. But look at the question. Only angle of scattering is given. Does not it mean that we cannot find fraction of lost energy? I just want to confirm...
