NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Refer to the diagram of the nucleus in the figure shown above. If the binding energy per nucleon for a nucleus is 8 MeV and the nucleus contains 20 nucleons, what is the total binding energy of the nucleus?
A
160 MeV
B
8 MeV
C
20 MeV
D
28 MeV
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The total binding energy is calculated by multiplying the binding energy per nucleon (8 MeV) by the number of nucleons (20), as shown in the formula E_bn = E_b / A.
