← ScienceWhich outcome results when accelerated tritium undergoes beta decay?
A)Mass increase occurs in resulting Helium
B)Plasma confinement becomes inherently unstable
C)Total kinetic energy is unexpectedly lower✓
D)Neutron emission increases dramatically afterwards
💡 Explanation
Kinetic energy decreases because beta decay emits an electron and antineutrino, sharing initial energy; therefore, the resulting Helium has less kinetic energy than originally expected, rather than increased energy, because of released neutrino.
