Calculate the energy equivalent of 1 atomic mass unit. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :We take,m = 1 amu = `1.66 xx 10^(-27)` kg `C = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)` Then, `E = mc^(2) = 1.66 xx 10^(-27) xx(3 xx (10)^(8))^(2)`J ` = (1.66 xx 10^(-27) xx(3 xx10^(8))^(2))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19)) eV` `E approx 981` MEV `therefore` 1 amu = 931 MeV |
