Nuclear Energy - Q. based on Spec

  1. What is the association between mass and energy, as expressed as an equation?

  2. How is the binding energy for a nucleus calculated, and what is the significance of binding energy per nucleon, particularly in relation to the unified atomic mass unit (u)?

  3. How can one calculate binding energy and binding energy per nucleon from the given masses of nuclei?

  4. What is the principle of conservation of mass/energy in particle interactions, such as fission and fusion?

  5. Why is the binding energy per nucleon relevant to nuclear fission and fusion, and how does it relate to the binding energy per nucleon versus nucleon number curve?
