Which outcome occurs when the internal conversion transition occurs in Cobalt-60?

A)Emission of mono energetic electrons
B)Release of high-energy alpha particles
C)Spontaneous nuclear fusion reaction
D)Cobalt-60 transforming to stable Nickel

💡 Explanation

Internal conversion features nuclear de-excitation due to electromagnetic interaction, resulting in electron emission. Therefore a mono energetic electron is emitted, rather than undergoing beta decay because internal conversion ejects electrons within it rather than altering the atom.
