STANDARD Physics Binding Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium
The mass of ⁷₃Li is 0.042 amu less than the sum of masses of its constituents. The binding energy per nucleon is
A
5.586 MeV
B
10.522 MeV
C
2.433 MeV
D
3.739 MeV
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Binding energy, Eₑ of ⁷₃Li = Δm × 931 MeV = 0.042 × 931 MeV. Binding energy per nucleon = (0.042 × 931) / 7 = 5.586 MeV.
