Read the passage below and answer the question.

Atom contains dense mass at its center, called nucleus. Nucleus is positively charged. Nucleus is made up of neutrons and protons. Therefore, it may be expected that the mass of the nucleus is equal to its individual protons and neutrons. However, the nuclear mass M is found to be always less than this. 

Find the energy equivalent of one a.m.u. in MeV.

931.5 MeV

Einstein's mass-energy relation : E = mc²

put:

m = 1 a.m.u = 1.6605 x 10^-27 Kg; c = 3.0 x 10⁸ ms^-1
