Calculate the amount of energy released when a radioactive substance undergoes fusion and results in a mass defect of 2 kg.

Answer»

Solution :MASS defect in the reaction (m) = 2 kg
Velocity of light (c)= `3 xx 10^(8)ms^(-1)`
By Einstein.s EQUATION, Energy released `E= mc^(2)`
So `E= 2 xx ( 3 xx 10^(8))^(2)`
`= 1.8 xx 10^(17)J`
