Question

The mass of nucleus is 0.042 u less than the sum of the masses of all its nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of nucleus is nearly

Options

A.46 MeV
B.5.6 MeV
C.3.9 MeV
D.23 MeV

Solution

For nucleus,
Mass defect, ᐃM = 0.042 u
∵ 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2
∴ ᐃM = 0.042 × 931.5 Mev/c2
= 39.1 MeV/c2
Binding energy, Eb = ᐃMc2
c2 = 39.1 MeV
Binding energy per nucleon, Ebn =
