The artificially created nuclear isotope tritium (3H) is important in many applications. This isotope undergoes beta decay, emitting an electron with a mean kinetic energy of 5.7 keV. (a) What is the de Broglie wavelength of such an emitted electron? (b) Is it likely that the electron existed inside the 3.4-fm-diameter nucleus just before it was emitted? Explain.
