NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
Consider a diagram representing a nuclear reaction where the initial mass is greater than the final mass. Which of the following correctly represents the relationship between the mass defect and energy released in this reaction?
The mass defect is converted into energy as per Einstein's relation E=mc^2.
The mass defect is absorbed as energy, reducing the reaction's output.
The energy released is directly proportional to the number of protons involved.
The mass defect leads to an increase in the nuclear force present.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the mass defect in a nuclear reaction is associated with the energy released, calculated using Einstein's mass-energy relation E=mc^2.
