The energy equivalent to 1 a.m.u. is equal to the energy which an electron would acquire, when accelerated through a potential difference of

A

`931xx10^(3) V`

B

`93xx10^(4) V`

C

`931xx10^(5) V`

D

`931xx10^(6) V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When 1 amu mass is converted into energy then its energy is 931 meV
i.e. `E=mc^(2)`
`=(1.67xx10^(-27)xx9xx10^(16))/(1.6xx10^(-19))=931xx10^(6) eV`
