The energy released by the fission of one uranium atom is 200 MeV . The number of fission per second required to produce 6.4 W power is \(\qquad\) .

  1. A \(10^{11}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{11}\)
  3. C \(10^{10}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \times 10^{11}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

B.\(2 \times 10^{11}\)
Power \(\mathrm{P}=\frac{n \mathrm{E}}{t}\)
\(\therefore n=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{t}}{\mathrm{E}}\)
\(\therefore n=\frac{6.4 \times 1}{200 \times 10^{6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)
\(\therefore n \approx 2 \times 10^{11}\)
