  1. $\dfrac{h}{m _{0}c}$

  2. $\dfrac{h}{2m _{0}c}$

  3. $\dfrac{2h}{m _{0}c}$

A Correct answer
Explanation
According to De Broglie eave length
$\lambda =\dfrac { h }{ mc } \quad \quad \quad E=\dfrac { hc }{ \lambda  } $
                             $\lambda =\dfrac { hc }{ E } =hc$
When an electron and a positron collide then a hypothetical annihilation of a stationary electron with a stationary position.

The energy of the reaction ${ Li }^{ 7 }+p\longrightarrow 2{ He }^{ 4 }$ is (the binding energy per nucleon in ${ Li }^{ 7 }$ and ${ He }^{ 4 }$ nuclei are 5.60 and 7.06 MeV respectively.)

  1. 17.3 MeV`

  2. 1.73 MeV

  3. 1.46 MeV

  4. Depends on binding energy of proton

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The energy released will depend on the energy equivalent of proton, taking its mass to be $1amu$ or
 corresponding energy as $931.5Mev$
we get energy released as $Q=E _{reactant} -E _{product}=7\times 5.6 +931.5 -2\times4\times  7.06=914.22Mev$

The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $(^2 _1 H)$ and helium nucleus $(^4 _2 He)$ is 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

  1. 23.6 MeV

  2. 26.9 MeV

  3. 13.9 MeV

  4. 19.2 MeV

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Energy released = BE(products) - BE(reactants). BE(He) = 4 * 7 = 28 MeV. BE(2 deuterons) = 2 * (2 * 1.1) = 4.4 MeV. Energy released = 28 - 4.4 = 23.6 MeV.

Find the  binding energy of a H atom in the state n = 2

  1. 2.1 eV

  2. 3.4 eV

  3. 4.2 eV

  4. 2.8 eV

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The energy levels of a hydrogen atom are given by E_n = -13.6 / n^2 eV. For n = 2, E_2 = -13.6 / 4 = -3.4 eV. The binding energy is the magnitude of this energy, which is 3.4 eV.

The binding energy per nucleon of deutron $(^2 _1 H)$ and helium nucleus $(^4 _2 He)$ is 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If two deutron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

  1. $23.6 MeV$

  2. $26.9 MeV$

  3. $13.9 MeV$

  4. $19.2 MeV$

Binding energy per nucleon is $8.5 \text { MeV for } A = 120$ and is $7.6 \mathrm { MeV } \text { for } \mathrm { A } = 240$ Suppose a nucleus with $A = 240$ breaks into two nuclei of nearly equal mass numbers then which of the following is correct

  1. 216 MeV energy is released.

  2. 21 MeV energy is to be given from outside

  3. 220 MeV energy is released.

  4. no energy is released.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Initial BE = 240 * 7.6 = 1824 MeV. Final BE = 2 * (120 * 8.5) = 2 * 1020 = 2040 MeV. Energy released = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.
