Before the neutrino hypothesis,the beta decay process was thought to be the transition $n \to p + e^-$. If this were true,show that if the neutron was at rest,the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally,the electron energy was found to have a large range.

In a radioactive decay,an element $^A_Z X$ emits four $\alpha$-particles,three $\beta$-particles and eight $\gamma$-photons. The atomic number and mass number of the resulting final nucleus are

$A$ radio nuclide $A_1$ with decay constant $\lambda_1$ transforms into a radio nuclide $A_2$ with decay constant $\lambda_2$. If at the initial moment the preparation contained only the radio nuclide $A_1$,then the time interval after which the activity of the radio nuclide $A_2$ reaches its maximum value is:
