Two deutrons each of mass m fuse to form helium resulting in release of energy E. The mass of helium formed is

A

`m+E//c^(2)`

B

`2m+E//c^(2)`

C

`E//mc^(2)`

D

`2m-E//c^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Total mass before fusion =2m
Mass converted into energy in this process `=E//c^(2)`
`:.` Mass of He formed =`(2m=E//c^(2))`
