    If 200 MeV energy is released in the fission of a single nucleus of \[{{\,}_{92}}U{{\,}^{235}},\]  how many fissions must occur per second to produce a power 1 kW?

    A) \[3.12\times {{10}^{13}}\]           

    B)         \[3.12\times {{10}^{3}}\]            

    C)         \[3.1\times {{10}^{17}}\]            

    D)         \[3.12\times {{10}^{19}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Total energy\[/s=1000\,J\] Energy released/fission \[\text{= 200 MeV}\] \[=200\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-13}}J\]                 \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-11}}J\] \[\therefore \]Number of fission/s \[=\frac{1000}{3.2\times {{10}^{-11}}}\]                                                 \[=3.12\,\times {{10}^{13}}\]
