    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 of 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 = 200 MeV                 \[=200\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-13}}J\]                 \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-11}}J\] \[\therefore \] Number of fission/s \[=\frac{1000}{3.2\times {{10}^{-11}}}\] \[=3.2\times {{10}^{13}}\]
