$(\mathrm{I})$ The $_{3}$ nucleus has an excited state 0.48 $\mathrm{MeV}$ above the ground state. What wavelength gamma photon is emitted when the nucleus decays from the excited state to the ground state?
What is the total energy (in MeV) released in the beta-minus decay of $^{19}$ O? See the hint for Problem 32 .
