1. \(2000\) MeV
2. \(200\) MeV
3. \(2\) MeV 
4. \(1\) keV

A nuclear decay is expressed as:

2. antineutrino
3. proton 
4. neutrino

A nuclear reaction given by \({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{~X} \rightarrow{ }_{Z+1}^{A} \mathrm{Y}+e^{-}+\bar{v}\) represents:

The mass of \({}_{7}^{15}\mathrm{N}\) is \(15.00011\) amu, mass of \({}_{8}^{16}\mathrm{O}\) is \(15.99492\) amu and \(m_p = 1.00783\) amu. Determine the binding energy of the last proton of \({ }_{8}^{16}\mathrm{O}\).
1. \(2.13\) MeV
2. \(0.13\) MeV 
3. \(10\) MeV 
4. \(12.13\) MeV

The rate of disintegration of a fixed quantity of a radioactive substance can be increased by:

2. increasing the pressure.

3. chemical reaction.

4. it is not possible.

The energy released by the fission of one  uranium atom is 200 MeV. The number of fission per second required to produce 3.2 W of power is (Take, 1 eV = 1.6$\times$${10}^{-19} J$) [WB JEE 2010]
