Nuclei - Result Question 24
39. If in nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the mass of the resultant nucleus be $m_3$, then
[2004]
(a) $m_3>(m_1+m_2)$
(b) $m_3=m_1+m_2$
(c) $m_3=|m_1-m_2|$
(d) $m_3<(m_1+m_2)$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 39. (d)
Solution:
39.20
$28.24 \times 2(=56.48 MeV)$
Therefore, $Q=56.48-39.20=17.28 MeV$.
