NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle, if the mass defect of a nucleus is 0.13691 u, what is the equivalent energy released in MeV?
127.4 MeV
126.8 MeV
128.5 MeV
129.3 MeV
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The energy equivalent of a mass defect is calculated using E=mc², where 1 u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV. Thus, 0.13691 u corresponds to approximately 127.4 MeV.
