Q.
If the binding energy per nucleon in $_{3}^{7}{Li\ and\ _{2}^{4}{He}}$ nuclei are 5.60 MeV and 7.06 MeV respectively, then in the reaction
$p\ +_{3}^{7}{Li\ \rightarrow 2\ _{2}^{4}{He}}$
energy of proton must be
A) 28.24MeV
B) 17.28MeV
C) 1.46MeV
D) 39.2MeV
Explanation
(b) Energy of proton $+ 7 \times \ 5.60\ = 2\ \times \lbrack 4 \times \ 7.06\rbrack$
$\therefore$ Energy of proton $= \ 17.28\ MeV$
