JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

Nucleus a having \(Z=17\) and equal number of protons and neutrons has \(1.2\,MeV\) binding energy per nucleon.Another nucleus \(B\) of \(Z=12\) has total \(26\) nucleons and \(1.8\,MeV\) binding energy per nucleons.The difference of binding energy of \(B\) and \(A\) will be \(...........MeV\).

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(A\) mass number \(=34\) Total binding energy \(=1.2 \times 34=40.8\,MeV\) For \(B\) mass number \(=26\) total binding energy \(=1.8 \times 26\,MeV\) \(=46.8\,MeV\) Difference of \(BE =6\,MeV\)
