Question
A nucleus of mass M + ᐃm is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass
M/2 each. Speed of light is c.
The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is E1 and that for the daughter nuclei is E2.
Then
Options
A.E2 = 2E1
B.E1 > E2
C.E2 > E1
D.E1 = 2E2
Solution
After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be morethan that of their parent nucleus.
