Explanation:
The continuous energy spectrum occurs because Q is shared between the electron and the antineutrino. A typical Q is around 1 MeV, but it can range from a few keV to a few tens of MeV. Since the rest mass energy of the electron is 511 keV, the most energetic β particles have speeds close to the speed of light.
