carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay in the reaction above. determine the type of radiation emitted in this reaction and describe what is happening to the nucleus during this reaction.
a) alpha radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a helium atom has been emitted from the nucleus.
b) beta radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a proton, which occurs by emitting an electron.
c) beta radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a electron, which occurs by emitting an proton.
d) gamma radiation is emitted in this equation because the atomic number increases (from 6 to 7). this means a neutron has decayed into a proton, which occurs by emitting an electron.

Suppose a diode consists of a cylindrical cathode with a radius of 6.200×10^−2 cm , mounted coaxially within a cylindrical anode with a radius of 0.5580 cm . the potential difference between the anode and cathode is 260 v . an electron leaves the surface of the cathode with zero initial speed (v initial=0). find its speed vfinal when it strikes the anode.
