NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Mass defect (i) Binding energy per nucleon (b) 16 O nucleus (ii) Energy associated with nuclear processes (c) Q-value (iii) Mass-energy equivalence (d) Nuclear mass (iv) Difference between expected and actual mass
Choose the correct matching:
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The mass defect is indeed the difference between the expected mass of a nucleus and its actual mass (Chunk 2), while the binding energy per nucleon is nearly constant for certain mass numbers (Chunk 3). The Q-value relates to the energy change in nuclear processes, and the nuclear mass is always less than the total mass of its constituents (Chunk 3).
