Q9 / 201 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

1 amu (atomic mass unit) mass is equal to energy of

  • A
    931 keV
  • B
    93.1 eV
  • Correct answer
    C
    931 MeV
  • D
    9.31 MeV

Solution

1 amu=1.66×10-27 kg

Equivalent energy can be calculated by using mass-energy equivalence equation
E=mc2
E=1.66×10-27×3×1082 J

1 MeV=106×1.6×10-19 J 

Using above equations we can get,

E= 931 MeV

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
