The mass of nucleus ._(z)X^(A) is less than the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus. The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of mass m_(1) and m_(2) only if (m_(1)+m_(2)) lt M . Also two light nuclei of massws m_(3) and m_(4) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M ''only if (m_(3)+m_(4)) gt M ''. The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below. |{:(._(1)^(1)H,1.007825u,._(1)^(2)H,2.014102u,),(._(1)^(3)H,3.016050u,._(2)^(4)H,4.002603u,),(._(3)^(6)Li,6.015123u,._(3)^(7)Li,7.016004u,),(._(30)^(70)Zn,69.925325u,._(34)^(82)Se,81.916709u,),(._(64)^(152)Gd,151.91980u,._(82)^(206)Pb,205.97445u,),(._(83)^(209)Bi,208.980388u,._(84)^(210)Po,209.982876u,):}| The correct statement is

If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account , when water is cooled to form ice, the mass of water should :-(Note: The mass energy of an object is the energy equivalent of its mass , as given by E= mc^(2) , where m= mass of object & c = speed of light)

Einstein's mass-energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m) to energy (E) as E = mc^(2) where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where I MeV = 1.6 xx 10^(-13)J the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit (u) where, 1u = 1.67 xx 10^(-27) kg . (a) Show that the energy equivalent of luis 931.5 MeV. (b) A student writes the relation as lu = 931.5 MeV. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.

Four containers are filled with monoatomic ideal gases. For each container , the number of moles , the mass of an individual atom and the rms speed of the atoms are expressed in terms of n , m and v_("rms") respectively . If T_(A) , T_(B) , T_(C) and T_(D) are their temperatures respectively then which one of the options correctly represents the order ?
