Nuclear Physics and RadioactivityHard
Question
The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb, against the nuclear mass M; A, B, C, D, E, F correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions:
(i) A + B → C + ε
(ii) C → A + B + ε
(iii) D + E → F + ε
(iv) F → D + E + ε
where ε is the energy released? In which reactions is ε positive?
(i) A + B → C + ε
(ii) C → A + B + ε
(iii) D + E → F + ε
(iv) F → D + E + ε
where ε is the energy released? In which reactions is ε positive?
Options
A.(i) and (iv)
B.(i) and (iii)
C.(ii) and (iv)
D.(ii) and (iii)
Solution
1st reaction is fusion and 4th reaction is fission.
