Find the energy equivalent of one atomic mass unit, first in joule and then in MeV. Using this, express the mass defect of `._8O^(16)` in Me`V//c^2`. Given `M_(p)=1.007825u` and `M_(n) =1.008665 u, m_("oxy")=15.99053` a.m.u. and Take `1 a.m.u=933.75MeV//c^2`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
930.09 MeV, `127.34 MeV//c^(2)`
