Q1.
(a) Calculate the binding energy per nucleon for ^{12}_{6}C nucleus. Given m(^{12}_{6}C) = 12.00000 u, m(p) = 1.00727 u and m(n) = 1.00866 u.
(b) Calculate the energy released in the reaction p + ^{2}_{1}H ightarrow ^{3}_{2}He. Given m(p) = 1.00727 u, m(^{2}_{1}H) = 2.014022 u and m(^{3}_{2}He) = 3.0160500 u.
(c) Calculate the energy released in the reaction ^{16}_{8}O ightarrow 2 lpha. Given m(^{16}_{8}O) = 15.999 u and m(^{4}_{2}He) = 4.002603 u.
(d)
