Atoms And Nuclei Question 343

Question: If the binding energy per nucleon in 37Li and 24He nuclei are 5.60 MeV and 7.06 MeV respectively, then in the reaction p+37Li224He energy of proton must be

Options:

A) 28.24 MeV

B) 17.28 MeV

C) 1.46MeV

D) 39.2MeV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Let E be the energy of proton, then E+7×5.6=2×[4×7.06]
    E=56.4839.2=17.28,MeV
