  1. A \(160 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(320 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(320 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(160 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(320 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 \mathrm{~MeV} = 1.602 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J}\) \(E_{\text{neutron}} \approx 2 \mathrm{~MeV}\) \(E_{\text{neutron}} = 2 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J} = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J}\) \(E_{\text{neutron}} \approx 320 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~J}\)
