Question

A stationary $P b^{200}$ nucleus emits an $α -$ particle with certain kinetic energy $K_{α}$ . If recoil velocity of daughter nucleus is $3.39 \times 105 m / s$ and $f$ is the fraction of the total energy liberated in this decay which is accounted for the recoil energy of the daughter nuclei, then

K_{α} \approx 8.77 M e V
