13. --) Bananas are somewhat radioactive due to the presence of substantial amounts of potassium. The isotope of potassium is radioactive and decays by the two different pathways shown below: 40K Ca + p (an antineutrino) Ar+y+ß (a gamma ray and a neutrino) The half-life for potassium is 1.251 x10 years. Evaluate the rate constants ki and k₂. (89.3%) (10.7%) KAr+y+B
