113. Energy released in the fission of a single uranium nucleus is \(200 \mathrm{MeV}\). Then the number of fissions per second to produce \(5 \mathrm{~mW}\) power is

  1. A \(1.56 \times 10^8\)
  2. B \(1.56 \times 10^{13}\)
  3. C \(3.12 \times 10^8\)
  4. D \(3.12 \times 10^{13}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.56 \times 10^8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of fissions per second, \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-3}}{200 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\ & =\frac{50}{32} \times 10^8=1.56 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}\)
