NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation MCQ Question
A nucleus has a mass defect of 0.030 u. Calculate the binding energy of this nucleus using the mass-energy relation.
27.93 MeV
24.45 MeV
30.00 MeV
33.50 MeV
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The binding energy is calculated using the formula ΔE_b = ΔM c^2. Given ΔM = 0.030 u, using 1 u = 931 MeV/c^2, the binding energy is 0.030 x 931 MeV = 27.93 MeV.
