Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the energy equivalent of 1 atomic mass unit (a.m.u.) in mega electron volts (MeV), we will use the mass-energy equivalence principle given by Einstein's equation: \[ E = mc^2 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the mass in kilograms**: The mass of 1 a.m.u. is given as: ...
