Integrated Concepts

Find the amount of energy given to the $^{4} \text{He}$ nucleus and to the $\gamma$ ray in the reaction $n +^{3} \text{He} \rightarrow^{4} \text{He} + \gamma$, using the conservation of momentum principle and taking the reactants to be initially at rest. This should confirm the contention that most of the energy goes to the $\gamma$ ray.
