Alpha decay occurs in some radioactive nuclides with A > 150. The probability of an alpha particle being emitted depends on the energy of the alpha particle. Why is this so?

a. Wave functions for the alpha particle must decrease to zero when the strong force potential goes to zero. b. Alpha particles must pass through classically forbidden regions with high potential barriers. c. The Coulomb potential for the alpha particle depends on the energy of the alpha particle. d. To emit the alpha particle, the nucleus must be hit by a gamma ray that has energy inversely proportional to the probability it will strike the nucleus.
