A nucleus of mass M at rest is initially in an excited state whose energy is AE above the ground state of the nucleus The nucleus emits a gamma ray of energy hv and makes a transition to ground state Now choose CORRECT statement s A The nucleus will recoil when it emits ay ray because of the conservation of linear momentum B The nucleus will not recoil when it emits a y ray because of conservation of linear momentum is not obeyed in such type of processes C The value of hy is less than E D The value of hy is greater than AE
