    In each fission of \[_{92}^{235}U\] energy of 200 MeV is released. How many acts of fission must occur per second to produce a power of 1 kW?

    A)  \[3.1\times {{10}^{13}}\]                            

    B)  \[1.3\times {{10}^{16}}\]

    C)  \[1.3\times {{10}^{15}}\]                                            

    D)  \[3.1\times {{10}^{16}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[Acts\text{ }of\text{ }fission=\frac{power}{energy\text{ }released}\] Given,   \[P=1\text{ }kW={{10}^{3}}W,\] \[E=200\text{ }MeV=200\times {{10}^{6}}eV\] Also, \[1\,eV=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[E=200\times {{10}^{6}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \] \[Acts\text{ }of\text{ }fission=\frac{1000}{200\times {{10}^{6}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\] \[=\frac{{{10}^{14}}}{3.2}=3.1\times {{10}^{13}}\]fission/s
