    In a nuclear fusion reaction, two nuclei, A and B, fuse to produce a nucleus C, releasing an amount of energy\[\Delta E\]in the process. If the mass defects of the three nuclei are\[\Delta {{M}_{A}},\Delta {{M}_{B}}\]and\[\Delta {{M}_{C}}\]respectively, then which of the following relations holds? Here, c is the speed of light

    A)  \[\Delta {{M}_{A}}+\Delta {{M}_{B}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}-\Delta E/{{c}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[\Delta {{M}_{A}}+\Delta {{M}_{B}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}+\Delta E/{{c}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[\Delta {{M}_{A}}-\Delta {{M}_{B}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}-\Delta E/{{c}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[\Delta {{M}_{A}}-\Delta {{M}_{B}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}+\Delta E/{{c}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Binding energy of nuclei \[A=\Delta {{M}_{A}}{{C}^{2}}\] Binding energy of nuclei\[B=\Delta {{M}_{B}}{{C}^{2}}\] Binding energy of nuclei\[C=\Delta {{M}_{C}}{{C}^{2}}\] According to question \[A+B\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C\] So, released energy \[\Delta E=BE\]of C (BE of A and B) \[\Delta {{M}_{C}}{{C}^{2}}-(\Delta {{M}_{A}}{{C}^{2}}+\Delta {{M}_{B}}{{C}^{2}})\] Or \[\frac{\Delta E}{{{c}^{2}}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}-(\Delta {{M}_{A}}+\Delta {{M}_{B}})\] \[\Delta {{M}_{A}}+\Delta {{M}_{B}}=\Delta {{M}_{C}}-\frac{\Delta E}{{{c}^{2}}}\]
