I request for help in understanding the following:
Q1. Why is the ionising power of alpha particles greater than that of gamma rays?
Q2. Why does the ratio of neutrons to protons in a nucleus increase after the emission of
an alpha particle? I would like to have a quantitative idea, as I could not figure this
out myself.
Q3. How is the formula to be derived for the kinetic energy of electrons emitted during
beta decay?
Thanks
