The energy released by the fission of one uranium atom is \(200 \mathrm{MeV}\). The number of fissions per second required to produce \(3.2 \mathrm{~W}\) of power is (Take \(1 \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}\) )
- A \(10^7\)
- B \(10^{10}\)
- C \(10^{15}\)
- D \(10^{11}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(10^{11}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hints: \(u=200 \mathrm{MeV}=200 \times 10^6 \mathrm{eV}=200 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}\) \(\mathrm{E}=3.2 \mathrm{~J}\) No of fissions \(=\frac{3.2}{2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-11}}=10^{11}\)
