    In terms of energy 1 amu is equal to:

    A)  100 J           

    B)  931.1 kcal

    C)  931.1 MeV      

    D)  \[{{10}^{7}}erg\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     1amu\[=1.67\times {{10}^{-24}}g\] Energy equivalent to this mass can be calculated by using the relation; \[E=m{{c}^{2}}\] Here \[m=1.67\times {{10}^{-24}}g\] \[c=3\times {{10}^{10}}cm\,{{\sec }^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \] \[E=1.67\times {{10}^{-24}}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{10}})}^{2}}ergs\] \[=\frac{1.503\times {{10}^{-3}}}{{{10}^{7}}}J\] \[=1.503\times {{10}^{-10}}J\] Now, \[1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J=1\text{ }eV\] \[1J=\frac{1}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}eV\] \[=6.25\times {{10}^{18}}eV\] \[\therefore \] \[1.503\times {{10}^{-10}}J\] \[=6.25\times {{10}^{18}}\times 1.503\times {{10}^{-10}}eV\] \[=9.393\times {{10}^{8}}eV\] \[\therefore \]1 amu\[=939.3MeV.\]
