Calculate the binding energy of an `alpha`-particle in MeV Given : `m_(p)` (mass of proton) = 1.007825 amu, `m_(n)` (mass of neutron) = 1.008665 amu Mass of the nucleus `=4.002800 amu, 1 amu = 931 MeV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Deltam=Zm_p+(A-Z)m_n-M_N`
=(2 x 1.0073)+ (2 x 1.0087 )- 4.0015
=0.0305 amu
Hence BE= `Delta`m x 93.15 =28.41 MeV
