On which law is the nuclear energy explained?(a) Einstein’s law(b) Newton’s law(c) Rutherford law(d) Mendeleev lawI have been asked this question in a national level competition.My question comes from Atomic Structure in chapter Nuclear Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) Einstein’s law

To elaborate: The nuclear energy is explained the basis of Einstein’s law, ONE atom MAY be transformed into ANOTHER by losing or ACQUIRING some of the above sub-particles. This results in mass change Δm and enormous AMOUNT of energy is released (or absorbed).According to Einstein’s law,

ΔE = Δmc^2

Where, c=light of speed.
