Answer to Problem 55A

  4.27u

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Binding energy of H24e , B.E=228.3MeV

Formula Used:

B.E = (mass of nucleus − mass of particles) ×c2

Calculations:

Energy equivalent of mass of proton is 938.28MeV .

Energy equivalent of mass of neutron is 939.57MeV .

  B.E.=m(H24e)c22mpc22mnc2228.3MeV=m(H24e)c22(938.28MeV)2(939.57MeV)m(H24e)c2=3984MeV1 u = 931.5MeV/c2m(H24e)=3984MeV/c2931.5MeV/c2um(H24e)= 4.27u

Conclusion:

Thus, mass of Helium isotope is 4.27u .
