NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
What is the formula for the binding energy of a nucleus in terms of its mass defect?
DE b = DM c^2
DE b = (Z m p + (A – Z )m n ) c^2
DE b = M c^2
DE b = (sum of final masses - sum of initial masses)c^2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The formula for the binding energy of a nucleus in terms of its mass defect is given as DE b = DM c^2, where DM is the mass defect. This is directly stated in the NCERT context.
