Answer:
Correct Answer: 23. (a)
Solution:
- (a) From the Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence, the relation between the mass of a substance $m$ and its energy $E$ is
$E=m c^{2}$
Here, $c=$ speed of light
$ \begin{aligned} \therefore E & =0.5 \times 10^{-3} \times(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}=0.5 \times 10^{-3} \times 9 \times 10^{16} \\ & =4.5 \times 10^{13} J . \end{aligned} $
