Practice question

**Energy equivalent** E= m c², 0.005 kg matter E=0.005×9×10¹⁶=4.5×10¹⁴ J, 0.01 kg 9×10¹⁴ J, mass defect 0.1 u => BE=0.1×931.5=93.15 MeV, mass defect from BE 149.04 MeV => Δm=149.04/931.5=0.16 u, BE per nucleon 8.5 MeV A=20 total BE=170 MeV. E_b = Δ M · c² . Δ M = (E_b/c²) = (186/931.5) ≈ 0.2 u . Using E_n = -13.6/n² eV, r_n = n² a₀, L = n h/2π, R = R₀ A^¹/³, BE = Δm c² and 1 u = 931.5 MeV, evaluation yields 0.2 u, consistent with Bohr model and nuclear binding energy systematics.
