Q75 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 1) · Physics
Nucleus is having mass number and its binding energy per nucleon is . It splits in two fragments and of mass numbers and . The binding energy of nucleons in and is per nucleon. The energy released per fission will be:
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
The total binding energy of nucleus is,
The total binding energy of and combined is,
Therefore, the energy released per fission is,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
