What is the value of binding energy per nucleon in case of ""_(92)U^(238) ?
The value of binding energy per nucleon is
Draw a plot of the binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number for a large number of nuclei , 2 le A le 240 . How do you explain the constancy of binding energy per nucleon in the range 30 lt A lt 170 using the property that nuclear force is short-ranged ?
(a) Draw a graph showing the variation of binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) vs mass number A for the nuclei in 20 le A le 170 . (b) A nucleus of mass number 240 and having binding energy/nucleon 7.6 MeV splits into two fragments Y, Z of mass numbers 110 and 130 respectively. If the binding energy/nucleon of Y, Z is equal to 8.5 MeV each, calculate the energy released in the nuclear reaction
