Solution

The correct option is D It is less than or equal to $0.39 M e V$ ; but we cannot be more precise.
Total energy of the particle is $940.97 - (939.67 + 0.51 + 0.39 + 0.01) = 0.39 M e V$
which is both $K . E$ and $m a s s \times c^{2}$
Hence, $m a s s \times c^{2} \leq 0.39 M e V$

Q. When subatomic particles undergo reactions, energy is conserved, but mass is not necessarily conserved. However, a particle’s mass “contributes” to its total energy, in accordance with Einstein’s famous equations,

E = m c^{2}

In this equation, E denotes the energy a particle carries because of its mass. The particle can also have additional energy due to its motion and its interactions with other particles.
Consider a neutron at rest, and well separated from other particles. It decays into a proton, an electron and an undetected third particle:
Neutron

\to

proton + electron + ???
Table 1 summarizes some data from a single neutron decay. An MeV (mega electron volt) is a unit of energy.
Table 1
Data from a single neutron decay
Column-1 shows the rest mass of the particle times the speed of light squared and
Column-2 shows its kinetic energy.

\begin{matrix} Column-1 & Column-2 particle & mass \times c^{2} (M e V) & Kinetic energy (MeV) Neutron & 940.97 & 0.00 Proton & 939.67 & 0.01 Electron & 0.51 & 0.39 \end{matrix}

Q. The energy required to dislodge electron from excited isolated hydrogen atom(IE1=13.6eV).
A)=13.6ev B)>13.6 C) <13.6 and >3.4 D)less than or equal to 3.4eV
The answer is D but how if i assume that the electron is at the second energy state(n=2) its energy would be -3.4eV so we should give either 3.4ev or more than that
