Question

Assume that a neutron breaks into a proton and an electron. The energy released during this process is
(Mass of neutron =1.6725×1027kg, Mass of proton =1.6725×1027kg ,Mass of electron =9×1031kg)

  1. 0.50625MeV
  2. 7.10 MeV
  3. 6.30 MeV
  4. 5.40 MeV

A
0.50625MeV
B
7.10 MeV
C
6.30 MeV
D
5.40 MeV
Solution
Verified by Toppr

np+e
Δm=(mp+me)mn
Δm=9×1031kg
Energy released =9×1031×(3×108)2J
=9×1031×(3×108)21.6×1013
=0.50625 MeV
