The positron decay of ^15 O goes directly to the ground state of ^15 N; no excited states of ^15
N are populated and no gamma rays follow beta decay. Yet a source of ^15 O is found to emit
gamma rays of about 0.5 MeV. Explain the origin of these rays.
Solution
gamma rays almost always accompanies other radioactive emmissions because it represents
energy loss when the remaining nucleons reorganise into more stable arrangements. thus here in
this problem the origin of gamma rays arise due to mass defect as per Einesteins theory of
relativity.
