Problem 9
A nitrogen nucleus (mass  proton mass) emits a photon of energy 6.2 MeV. If the nucleus is initially at rest, what is the recoil energy of the nucleus in eV?

Solution:
With the nucleus initially at rest, the recoil momentum of the nucleus must be equal and opposite to that of the emitted photon. We therefore have its magnitude given by :.........
