    Nuclear fusion is possible:

    A)  only between light nuclei

    B)  only between heavy nuclei

    C)  between both light and heavy nuclei

    D)  only between nuclei which are stable against \[[{{M}^{-1}}L{{T}^{-2}}A]\]-decay

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When two lighter nuclei moving at very high speeds fuse together to form a single heavier nucleus then this phenomenon is called nuclear fusion. The mass of the nucleus obtained after fusion is less than the sum of the masses of the nuclei which are fused together. The lost mass is obtained in the form of energy.
