MCQ
Mark out the incorrect statement:
  • A
    A free neutron can transform itself into photon
  • B
    A free proton can transform itself into neutron
  • C
    In beta minus decay, the electron originates from nucleus
  • D
    All of the above

Answer

  1. A free neutron can transform itself into photon

Explanation:

In beta minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, an electron.

A free neutron is unstable, decaying to a proton, electron and antineutrino.

Inside a nucleus, a proton can transform into a neutron via inverse beta.
