Imagine that a reactor converts all given mass into energy and that it operates at a power level of \(10^9\, watt\). The mass of the fuel consumed per hour in the reactor will be : (velocity of light, \(c\) is \(3\times10^8\, m/s\))

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4\times10^{-2} \,gm\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power level of reactor, \(P=\frac{E}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta m c^{2}}{\Delta t}\)

mass of the fuel consumed per hour in the reactor,

\(\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}=\frac{P}{c^{2}}=\frac{10^{9}}{\left(3 \times 10^{8}\right)^{2}}=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{gm}\)
