Binding Energy

If M A, Z, ...

Question

If M (A, Z), $M_{p}, a n d, M_{n}$
denote the masses of
the nucleus
$_{Z}^{A} X$ proton and neutron
respectively in units of u $(1 u = 931.5 M e V / C^{2})$
and BE represents its bonding energy in MeV,
then -

M (A, Z) = Z M_{p} + (A - Z) M_{n} - B E

Solution

The correct option is C $M (A, Z) = Z M_{p} + (A - Z) M_{n} - B E / C^{2}$
Mass defect
$Δ m = Z M_{p} + (A - Z) M_{n} - M (A, Z)$
Binding energy $= Δ m C^{2}$
$B E = [Z M_{p} + (A - Z) M_{n} - M (A, Z)] . C^{2}$
$M (A, Z) = Z M_{p} + (A - Z) M_{n} - \frac{B E}{C^{2}}$
