Question

State true or false.

Energy equivalent of 1 amu is 931 MeV.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

According to Einsteins equation,

$E=m{c}^2$

1 amu $=1.66\times {10}^{-27}$ kg.

So $E=1.49\times {10}^{-10}J=931.25MeV$ as $1MeV=1.6\times {10}^{-13}J$

Hence, the given statement is true.
