Assume the graph of specific binding energy versus mass number is as shown in the figure. Using this graph, select the correct choice from the following.
- A Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \(100 < \mathrm{A} < 200\) will release energy
- B Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \(51 < \mathrm{A} < 100\) will release energy
- C Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \(1 < \mathrm{A} < 50\) will release energy
- D Fission of the nucleus of mass number lying in the rang of \(100 < A < 200\) will release energy when broken into two fragments
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \(51 < \mathrm{A} < 100\) will release energy
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \(51 < \mathrm{A} < 100\) combined, then a nucleus is formed in the range \(100 < \mathrm{A} < 150\) which has high value of specific binding energy. Thus, the fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in range of \(51 < \mathrm{A} < 100\) will release energy.
