Nuclei of deuterium D (2H) and tritium T (H) can fuse according to the following reaction to produce a neutron and an alpha particle. D+ T 'He + 'n Calculate energies carried away by the neutron and the alpha particle in the above nuclear reaction. Assume binding energies per nucleon of deuterium, tritium and helium to be 1.00 MeV, 2.80 MeV and 7.00 MeV respectively and neglect kinetic energy of the nuclei before the fusion. Aw: 14.08 MeV& 3.52Mev
