The energy spectrum of  \beta -particles\left [ number\: N(E)as \: a \: function \: of\: \beta -energy\: E \right ]  emitted  from a  radioactive source is 

  • Option 1)

  • Option 2)

  • Option 3)

  • Option 4)

As we learnt in

β Minus - decay -

^{A}_{Z}X\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+\beta ^{-}+ \bar{\nu }+Q\ value

- wherein

\bar{\nu }\rightarrow anti \: neutrino

Q\: value =\left [ M_{X}-M_{Y} \right ]c^{2}

 

 Total energy is distrbuted between \beta particle and neutrino/Antineutrino.

Hence very few \beta particle will have low energy or highest energy.

Correct option is 4.
