Nuclear Physics and RadioactivityHard

Question

The binding energies of nuclei X and Y are E1 and E2 respectively. Two atoms of X fuse to give one atom of Y and an energy Q is released. Then

Options

A.Q = 2E1 - E2
B.Q = E1 - 2E2
C.Q = 2E1 + E2
D.Q = 2E2 + E1

Solution

Energy released = (BE)product - (BE)reactant .
