Calculate the minimum energy needed to separate a neutron form a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons in terms of the masses `M_(Z,N),M_(Z,N-1)` and the mass of the neutron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

`E_z, N = E_(z, N-1) + _(0)^1n`
Energy released = (Initial Mass of nucleus
- Final mass of nucleus)`c^2`
`=(m_(z,N-1) + m_n - M_(z,N))c^2` .
