    If the speed of light were\[\frac{2}{3}\]of its present value, the energy released in a given atomic explosion would

    A)  decrease by a factor\[\frac{2}{3}\]

    B)  decrease by a factor\[\frac{4}{9}\]

    C)  decrease by a factor\[\frac{5}{9}\]

    D)  decrease by a factor\[\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, \[E=\Delta m{{c}^{2}}\Rightarrow E\propto {{c}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{E-E}{E}=1{{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{5}{9}\]
