MCQ
Which of the following is wrong statement about binding energy?
  • A
    It is the sum of the rest mass energies of nucleons minus the rest mass energy of the nucleus.
  • B
    It is the energy released when the nucleons combine to form a nucleus.
  • C
    It is the energy required to break a given nucleus into its constituent nucleons.
  • D
    It is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the nucleons in the nucleus.

Answer

  1. It is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the nucleons in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The first three options are correct from the definition of Binding energy.

B.E. has nothing to do with K.E. of the nucleons in nucleus.
