If the mass defect of 4X9 is 0⋅09 a.m.u, then the binding energy per nucleon is : (a) 8.38 MeV(b) 83⋅8 MeV (c) 931⋅5 MeV (d) 9⋅315 MeV

Answer»

Correct option (d) 9⋅315 MeV

Explanation:

Binding energy of nucleus = Mass defect  in amu × 931.48 MeV

= 0.09 × 931.48

= 83.83 MeV

Binding energy per nucleon

= binding energy of the nucleus/number of nucleon (mass number)

= 83.83/9 = 9.315 MeV
