How can one calculate probability of transition of atom from initial state m to final state n and obtain a formula for rate of energy loss with the emission from the atom of a heavy charged particle?

Let's break this down and see what we can do with it. First, the probability of transition of an atom from the initial state (m) to final state (n) will depend on what it is that is transitioning, and also on how it's transitioning. Which element - and which isotope - is transitioning? And how it is transitioning? Under what conditions? Radioactive decay? Neutron (or other particle) absorption? With the stating atom and the mode of change, we can determine the probability of transition as was asked. With the first part of the information in hand, we can determine the energy loss in the heavy charged particle emission event. We should also be able to determine the time over which the event takes place, and then discover the rate of energy loss (though it will represent only an average) for said event.

Is a flame spread index of 20 better than 26?
According to the State of Lousiana, pine wood is greater than 70 to 100 and inorganic particle board is 15 -20, therefore lower numbers are better. Please note that 20 seems to me to be close to 26, looking at various materials the difference isn't great. But 20 is more flame spread resistant than 26. sfm.dps.louisiana.gov/doc_flamespread.html
What is a normal cholesterol level in a middle-aged male?
A normal cholesterol level for a middle-aged male would be anywhere from 135 to 200. Those levels are considered normal. normal cholesterol level normal glucose level normal cholesterol level for 40-60 age man I have ants in my feet less tha 200 what is the level for a middle aged what is the normal cholesterol level in a 64 year old woman All LDL isn't bad. The size of the particle of cholestoral is what determines this. As far as I know there is nothing about HDL that is bad. Most cholestoral comes from some types of fats. I have no idea? is normal 203 cholesterol Normal cholesterol level for an 86 year old woman? what are the symtems
How do you create a histogram in Excel?
= = First of all, you need to open an Excel spreadsheet. Then go to 'TOOLS' in the menu bar and select 'ADD INS.' Choose 'ANALYSIS TOOL PACK' and click okay. Now we're on to making the histogram~ On your excel spreadsheet (the one that contains the data) you're going to have to to create. a column for the number of bins needed. This 'bin' of which I spoke of is the grouping of data based on the range of data you have. Find the range of data by doing this~ First, go to 'DATA' in the menu bar and select 'SORT.' Then choose the column you would like to sort and choose ascending or descending order. Then choose a different column on your spreadsheet and simply add the bins Navigate to "TOOLS, DATA ANALYSIS" and then select Histogram. Click on the small box to the right for input range. Highlight the column on your spreadsheet containing the data that you choose to be binned. This will turn into your frequency value. After that, highlight the bins column for the bin range. Go to 'OUTPUT OPTIONS' and choose 'NEW WORKSHEET PLY:' and then choose a name for the worksheet. It will be set up with a brand new, titled spreadsheet with 2 columns (bin and frequency). Then you highlight the frequency column of data and go to 'CHART WIZARD' pick column graph. Click on 'SERIES TAB CATEGORY (X) LABELS' to make sure that your x axis is labeled 'BIN.' Then you just complete it like normal. Help from~ http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~pavone/particle-www/teachers/analysis/HISTOGRAMS.htm
What radioactive emission is a particle?
Alpha emission is a 4helium nucleus, which behaves like a particle. Beta emission is an electron, which behaves like a particle. Gamma emission is a photon, which behaves like a particle. Experiments can also be set up to show their wavelike properties (for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).
What type of radiation does Radon give off?
Naturally occuring Radon gas decays by alpha particle emission. However, many of the decay chain products have very short half lives, of which some decay by alpha particle emission and others by beta particle emission.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom is it a wave or a particle?
a particle traveling in wave form.
What particle decomposes to produce the emission of beta radiation?
This particle is a neutron:neutron-----------proton + electron + neutrino
In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?
a proton and an electron
What particular behavior of light that shows particle property?
emission and absorption
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
What is the quantum theory?
transition of a charged particle between energy levels.
What actually decays in radioactive decay?
The nucleus of the atom decays, and in the process, the nucleus transforms into another element, or into an isotope or isomer of the same element. In radioactive decay, the nucleus always emits some kind of particle(s). It is the high-energy emission of these particles that we call radiation. There are many different types of radioactive decay:Alpha decay results in the emission of an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons)Beta decay results in the emission of a beta particle (an electron or a positron)Neutron decay results in the emission of a neutronProton decay results in the emission of a protonGamma decay results in the emission of a gamma particle (a photon)Neutrino decay results in the emission of a neutrino or antineutrinoIn some cases, a combination of the above emissions takes place. For example in double beta decay, a single nucleus emits two electrons and two antineutrinos in the same event.
Light is an electromagnetic wave. What particular behavior of light that shows particle property?
Photo electric emission
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of the parent nuclide?
The mass number decrease with 4.
How does potassium turn into argon?
Potassium element can turn into argon element only by the emission of a beta particle.
