(a) Explain the terms:

(i) transmutation as it relates to radioactivity; (ii) stopping potential.

(b) \(^{23}_{11}A + ^2_1B\) —> \(^p_qC\) + proton

\(^p_qC\) —> \(^r_sE\) + beta

A nucleus C, formed artificially from A and B radioactive and quickly decays to another nucli E as indicated in the nuclear equations abc Datermine the values of p, q, r and s.

(c) A certain metal of work function 1.6 eV is irradiated with ultra-violet light of wavelength 3.6 x 10\(^{-7}\) Calculate the maximum

(i) kinetic energy of ejected electron in joules;

(ii) speed of an emitted electron. (1eV = 1.6 x 10\(^{-18}\) J; C = 3.0 x 10\(^{8}\) ms\(^{-1}\); m, = 9.1 x 10\(^{-31}\) kg; h = 6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) Js)

(d) If source of the ultra-violet light in (c) above is mo away from the surface of the metal, state the of on the maximum speed of the ejected electron
