363641 If in a nuclear fission, piece of uranium of mass 0.5g is lost, the energy obtained in kWh is
According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relationE=mc2=(0.5×10−3kg)(3×108ms−1)2=4.5×1013J=4.5×10133.6×106kWh(∵1kWh=3.6×106J)=1.25×107kWh
363642 Nuclear reactions obey the law of conservation of
Conceptual Question
363643 If the speed of light were 2/3 of its present value, the energy released in a given atomic explosion will be decreased by a fraction:
As we know that, E=mc2E2E1=m(23c)2mc2 [mass remain same]E2E1=4c2qc2=49.
363644 The energy equivalent of 1g of substance is
E=mc2=1×10−3×(3×108)2J=1×10−3×3×108×3×1081.6×10−19eV(∵1J=11.6×10−19eV)E=56.169×1031eVE=5.6×1026MeV
