The mass of a `a_3^7 Li` nucleus is `0.042 u` less than the sum of the masses of all its nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of `._3^7 Li` nucleus is nearly.A. 46 MeVB. 5.6 MeVC. 3.9 MeVD. 23 MeV |
Answer» Correct Answer - B (b) If `m = 1u, c = 3 xx 10^8 ms^-1`, then `E = 931 MeV` i.e., `1u = 931 MeV` Binding energy `xx 0.042 xx 931 = 39.10 MeV` ` :.` Binding energy per nucleon =`(39.10)/(7) = 5.58 ~~ 5.6 MeV`. |
