A nucleus of mass $M + Δ m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $\frac{M}{2}$ each. Speed of light is $c$ . 40. The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is $E_{1}$ and that for the daughter nuclei is $E_{2}$ . Then

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be more than that of their parent nucleus.
