Q88 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2) · Physics
In a nuclear fission reaction of an isotope of mass , three similar daughter nuclei of same mass are formed. The speed of a daughter nuclei in terms of mass defect will be :
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Let the reaction be,
Let mass of each daughter nuclei be , then mass defect can be written as .
Now the energy released will be in the form of kinetic energy of the daughter nuclei. Therefore,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
