The atomic mass unit (1u) is correctly represented by :

  1. A \(1u = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ J/C}^2 \)
  2. B \( 1u = 931.5 \text{ MeV}/c^2 \)
  3. C \(1u = 931.5 \text{ J/C}^2 \)
  4. D \(1u = 9.31 \text{ MeV/C}^2 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 1u = 931.5 \text{ MeV}/c^2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Based on Einstein's mass-energy equivalence \(\left(E=m c^2\right)\), mass can be expressed in terms of energy. Since the energy equivalent of one atomic mass unit is approximately \(9 3 1 . 5 ~ M e V\), its mass value is correctly represented as \(931.5 MeV / c^2\). B)…
