Energy of photon \Delta E = h \upsilon , h - Planck's constant, \upsilon - frequency
Step 1: Calculating the frequency of the gamma particle
Form the figure
\gamma _1 decays from energy level E_1 \text{ to } E_3
Energy difference \Delta E = E_1 - E_2 = 1.088 MeV - 0 = 1.088 MeV = 1.088 * 10^{6} * 1.6 * 10^{-19} \because 1 eV = 1.6 * 10^{-19} J
\Delta E_1 = 1.7408 * 10^{-13} joules
Frequency of \gamma_1, \upsilon_1 = \frac{\Delta E}{h} = \frac{ 1.7408 * 10^{-13}}{6.626 * 10^{-34}}
\upsilon_1 = 2.63 *10^{20} Hz
\gamma _2 decays from energy level E_2 \text{ to } E_3
Energy difference \Delta E = E_2 - E_3 = 0.412 MeV - 0 = 0.412 MeV = 0.412 * 10^{6} * 1.6 * 10^{-19}
E_2 = 6.592 * 10^{-14} MeV
Frequency of \gamma_2, \upsilon_2 = \frac{\Delta E}{h} = \frac{6.592 * 10^{-14}}{6.626 * 10^{-34}}
\upsilon_2 = 9.987 * 10^{19} Hz
\gamma _3 decays from energy level E_1 \text{ to } E_2
Energy difference \Delta E = E_1 - E_2 = 1.088 MeV - 0.412 MeV = 0.676 MeV = 0.676 * 10^{6} * 1.6 * 10^{-19}
\Delta E = 1.0816 * 10^{-13}
\Delta E = 1.0816 * 10^{-13}
Frequency of \gamma_3, \upsilon_3 = \frac{\Delta E}{h} = \frac{1.0816 * 10^{-13}}{6.626 * 10^{-34}}
\upsilon_3 = 1.632 * 10^{20} Hz
Step 2: Determine the maximum kinetic energy of the \beta particle
Given that
m(^{198}_{78} Au) = 197.968233 u
m(^{196}_{80} Hg) = 197.966760 u
Energy E = \Delta m * c^2 where, \Delta m - mass defect
Mass defect [math]\Delta m=\left[m(_{78}^{198}Au)-m(_{80}^{196}Hg)\right][/math]
[math] E_a = [197.968233 - 197.966760] c^2 * 931.5 MeV/c^2 [/math]
E_a = 0.001473 *931.5 MeV
E_a = 1.372 MeV
\beta_1^- decays from E_a \text{ to } E_1
Maximum kinetic energy of the \beta_1^-, K.E =E_a - E_1
K.E = 1.372 - 1.088 MeV = 0.284 MeV
\beta_2^- decays from E_a \text{ to } E_2
Maximum kinetic energy of the \beta_2^-, K.E =E_a - E_2
K.E = 1.372 - 0.412 MeV = 0.96 MeV.
