Experiments are going on to produce large scale energy by using Deuterium 1H2 and Tritium 1H3.They are using laser beams to compress the material. Fuel pallets are made by mixing equal number of atoms of 1H3 and 1H2. Such fuel pallets are spheres of radius r = 200 µm and its density is 200 kg/m3. When laser beams hit the pallet, it get
s compressed and its density is increased by 1000 times. Assume that only 10% of the atoms take part in fusion reaction
1H2+1H3 ® 2He4 + 0n1 + Q
mass of 1H2 = 2.0141 u mass of 1H3 = 3.0160 u mass of 2He4 = 4.0026 u
mass of 0n1 = 1.0087 u (Take, 1 amu = 931 MeV/c2)
The energy produced in laser action of a pallet is
(A) 108 J (B) 105 J (C) 103 J (D) 106 J
