Physics-Mass-Energy Relation
NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12
A nucleus has a mass defect of 0.1 u. Using Einstein's mass-energy relation, what is the binding energy of this nucleus in MeV?
A
93.15 MeV
B
931.5 MeV
C
0.9315 MeV
D
9.315 MeV
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The mass-energy relation states that the energy equivalent of a mass defect ΔM is ΔE = ΔM c^2. Using ΔM = 0.1 u and converting to energy with 1 u = 931.5 MeV, the binding energy is 93.15 MeV.
