2. The first three excited states of the nucleus Au-199 (gold) are at 0.075 Mev, 0.320 Mev and 0.475 MeV. If all transitions between theses states and the ground state occurred, what energy gamma rays would be observed? Note: be sure to consider all possible transitions.

Step 1
Transition from the first excited state (0.075 MeV) to the ground state: The energy of the gamma ray would be the difference between the energies of the two states, which is 0.075 MeV. Show more…
