NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
A nucleus has a binding energy per nucleon of 7 MeV and consists of 56 nucleons. What is the total binding energy of the nucleus?
392 MeV
63 MeV
7 MeV
448 MeV
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The total binding energy is calculated by multiplying the binding energy per nucleon by the number of nucleons: E_b = 7 MeV/nucleon × 56 nucleons = 392 MeV.
