JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

The energy released in the fusion of \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) of hydrogen deep in the sun is \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{H}}\) and the energy released in the fission of \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) of \({ }^{235} \mathrm{U}\) is \(E_U\). The ratio \(\frac{E_H}{E_U}\) is approximately _______. (Consider the fusion reaction as \(4{ }_1^1 \mathrm{H}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow{ }_2^4 \mathrm{He}+2 \mathrm{v}+6 \gamma+26.7 \mathrm{MeV}\), energy released in the fission reaction of \({ }^{235} \mathrm{U}\) is \(200 \mathrm{MeV}\) per fission nucleus and \(\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}=6.023 \times 10^{23}\) )

  1. A \(9.13\)
  2. B \(15.04\)
  3. C \(7.62\)
  4. D \(25.6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7.62\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In each fusion reaction, \(4{ }_1^1 \mathrm{H}\) nucleus are used. Energy released per Nuclei of \({ }_1^1 \mathrm{H}=\frac{26.7}{4} \mathrm{MeV}\) \(\therefore\) Energy released by \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) hydrogen \(\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{H}}\right)\)…
