If \(200 \mathrm{MeV}\) of energy is released in the fission of one nucleus of \({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\), the number of nuclei that must undergo fission to release an energy of \(1000 \mathrm{~J}\) is

  1. A \(3.125 \times 10^{13}\)
  2. B \(6.25 \times 10^{13}\)
  3. C \(12.5 \times 10^{13}\)
  4. D \(3.125 \times 10^{14}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.125 \times 10^{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy released in the fission of one nucleus \(\begin{aligned} & =200 \mathrm{MeV} \\ & =200 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J} \\ & =3.2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}\) Energy to be released \(=1000 \mathrm{~J}\) \(3.2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~J}\) energy is…
