Nuclei Ques 33
33. In any fission process, the ratio
$\frac{\text{ mass of fission products }}{\text{ mass of parent nucleus }}$ is
[2005]
(a) equal to 1
(b) greater than 1
(c) less than 1
(d) depends on the mass of the parent nucleus
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 33.(c)
Solution:
- (c) Binding energy per nucleon for fission products is higher relative to Binding energy per nucleon for parent nucleus, i.e., more masses are lost and are obtained as kinetic energy of fission products. So, the given ratio $<1$.
