Let `E_(1)` and `E_(2)` be the binding energies of two nuclei `A` and `B`. it is observed that nuclei of `A` combine together to form a `B` nuclus. This observation is correct only if .

A

`E_(1) gt E_(2)`

B

`E_(2) gt E_(1)`

C

`E_(2) gt 2E_(1)`

D

nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Transformation occurs only when the same net energy is released, which is possible only when `E_(2) gt2E_(1).`
