The energy required in \(\text{MeV/c}^2 \) to separate \({ }_8^{16} \mathrm{O}\) into its constituents is:
(Given: mass defect for \({ }_8^{16} \mathrm{O}=0.13691~ \text{amu}\))
1. | \(127.5\) | 2. | \(120.0\) |
3. | \(222.0\) | 4. | \(119.0\) |
If \(M(A,~Z)\), \(M_p\), and \(M_n\) denote the masses of the nucleus \(^{A}_{Z}X,\) proton, and neutron respectively in units of \(u\) \((1~u=931.5~\text{MeV/c}^2)\) and represent its binding energy \((BE)\) in \(\text{MeV}\). Then:
1. | \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- \dfrac{BE}{c^2}\) |
2. | \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n+ BE\) |
3. | \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- BE\) |
4. | \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n+ \dfrac{BE}{c^2}\) |
