$A$ nucleus of mass $M + \Delta m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass. If $C$ is the speed of light,and $E_1$ is the binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus and $E_2$ is that for the daughter nuclei,then:

  • A
    $E_1 = 2 E_2$
  • B
    $E_2 = 2 E_1$
  • C
    $E_1 > E_2$
  • D
    $E_2 > E_1$

$A$ nucleus of mass $M + \Delta m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $\frac{M}{2}$ each. The speed of light is $c$. The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is $E_1$ and that for the daughter nuclei is $E_2$. Then:

Given the masses of various atomic particles $m_{p} = 1.0072 \ u$,$m_{n} = 1.0087 \ u$,$m_{e} = 0.000548 \ u$,$m_{\bar{v}} = 0$,and $m_{d} = 2.0141 \ u$,where $p \equiv$ proton,$n \equiv$ neutron,$e \equiv$ electron,$\bar{v} \equiv$ antineutrino,and $d \equiv$ deuteron.
