Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12
The mass of proton is 1.0073 u and that of neutron is 1.0087 u (u = atomic mass unit). The binding energy of ²He is (Given : helium nucleus mass ≈ 4.0015 u)
A
0.0305 J
B
0.0305 erg
C
28.4 MeV
D
0.061 u
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The binding energy is calculated using the mass defect and E=mc². The mass defect is converted to energy, resulting in 28.4 MeV.
