Assertion : In a nuclear process mass gets converted into energy.
Reason : According to Einstein's mass energy equivalence relation, mass m is equivalent to energy E, given by the relation `E = mc^(2)` where c is the speed of light in vacuum.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In a nuclear reaction (fission), the difference in mass between the original nucleus and the product nuclei gets converted to energy at a rate governed by the equation
`E = mc^(2)`
