The K characteristic line is produced by electronic transition in the target atom.
The intensity is determined by the number of electrons hitting the target and the
number of collisions determines the number of electronic transition.

An -particle is a helium nucleus which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When an
atom X emits an -particle, the new atom produced will have its mass number reduced
by 4 and its atomic number reduced by 2.

(iii) -particle is an electromagnetic radiation which has energy but no mass. It is emitted
when a radioactive nucleus converts its mass defect into energy in order to become
another more stable nucleus.

(b)(i) Radioactive decay refers to the random and spontaneous process whereby a less stable
nucleus changes to a more stable nuclide with the emission of radioactive radiation.
Activity is the number of radioactive atoms decay in unit time.

The activity

of a radioactive source is directly proportional to the number of

Hence, the decay constant can be defined as the ratio of the activity to the number of
