Question

A nuclear of mass `M +deltam ` is at rest and decay into two daughter nuclei of equal mass `(M)/(2)` each speed is `c`
The binding energy per nucleon for the nucleus is `E_(1)` and that for the daugther nuclei is `E_(2)` Then
A. `E_(1)=2E_(1)`
B. `E_(1) gt E_(2)`
C. `E_(2) gt E_(1)`
D. `E_(1) =2E_(2)`

Answer 1

Binding energy per nucleon of daughter nuclei is more than that of the parent nuclei.
