Kinetic Energy Distribution in a Nuclear Reaction
A neutron with a kinetic energy of 0.025 eV is absorbed by a boron-10 nucleus, producing a lithium-7 nucleus and an alpha particle. The Q-value of this reaction is 2.79 MeV. What fraction of the total kinetic energy of the products is carried by the alpha particle?
A
0.63
B
0.50
C
0.37
D
0.75
