Question:

The energy equivalent of 1 amu in MeV is

Options:

$3.6 \times 10^6$ MeV

1.66 MeV

931.5 MeV

802.35 MeV

Correct Answer:

931.5 MeV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 931.5 MeV

$1 amu=1.66×10^{-27}kg$

$E=1.66×10^{-27}×(3×10^8)^2$

$=1.49×10^{-10}J$

and,

$E=\frac{1.49×10^{-10}}{1.6×10^{-19}}=931×10^6eV$

$≈931.5 MeV$
