Internal Conversion Coefficient/Decay % HELP
"In 97.7% of disintegrations 123I decays by electron capture to an excited state of 123Te, which has an energy of 159keV. Gamma rays of energy 159keV are emitted following 82.9% of decays. What's the internal conversion coefficient for this de-excitation?"
I know that a=Ne/Ny(gamma), but I'm kind of confused here about the percentage of the decays of the e- capture & gamma emission. Is it 97.7%/17.1%=5.713? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

gamma emmission 82.9%
rest x-ray emmission + flrorascence yeild so icc = (17.1/82.9)/ (florascence yeild) the 97% is just the percentage of time iodine decays through electron capture, we are interested only in tellurium decay!!. This is for now my understanding |
