If a proton and anti-proton come close to each other and annihilate, how much energy will be released?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Mass of proton = mass of anti-proton

=1.67×10-27 kg=1 amu

Energy equivalent to amu =931 MeV.

So, energy equivalent to2 amu=2×931MeV

=1862×106×1.6×10-19

=2.97×10-10J

≈3×10-10 J
