One atomic mass units are equivalent to ___MeV energy?

Open in App
Solution

1 atomic mass unit is converted into energy by using E =mc² (here c = speed of light)
Now E=1.66×1027×(3×108)2joules


If we divide above result by electronic charge we get energy in electron volt. Now if we further divide it by million, the result will be 931 MeV.
