NEETPhysicsAtoms and NucleiMCQ+4 / −1
If in a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1 and m2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus be m3, then
- Am3 = m1 + m2
- Bm3 =
- Cm3 < (m1 + m2)
- Dm3 > (m1 + m2)
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
In nuclear fusion the mass of end product
or resultant is always less than the sum of initial
product, the rest is liberated in the form of energy,
like in Sun energy is liberated due to fusion of
two hydrogen atoms.
As m1 + m2 = m3 + E
Since E = (m1 + m2 – m3) × c2
