In electron spin resonance, incoming electromagnetic radiation of the proper (resonant) frequency causes the electron’s magnetic moment to go from its lower-energy, or “relaxed,” orientation, aligned with the external field, to its higher-energy anti-aligned state. MRI is analogous. A quantity commonly discussed in MRI is the ratio of the frequency of the incoming radiation to the external magnetic field. Calculate this ratio for hydrogen. Note that the proton gyromagnetic ratio, , is .
A fossil specimen has decay rate of
(a) How many carbon-14 nuclei are present?
(b) If the specimen is 20,000 years old, how many carbon-14 nuclei were present when the animal died?
(c) How much kinetic energy (in MeV) is released in each decay and what is the total amount released in all decay since the animal died?
Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of carbon- .
A fusion reaction used to produce neutron beams,
Assuming that the kinetic energy before the fusion is negligible compared with the energy released, calculate the neutronkinetic energy after fusion.
Thorium 232 is rather abundant on Earth and is now coming into use as a breeder fuel. It behaves almost exactly like uranium- 238, merely shifted by even numbers of protons and neutrons, which means that it is not the actual fission fuel. What isotope is?
