MEDIUM
For nuclei with mass number close to 119 and 238 , the binding energies per nucleon are approximately 7.6 MeV and 8.6 MeV, respectively. If a nucleus of mass number 238 breaks into two nuclei of nearly equal masses, what will be the approximate amount of energy released in the process of fission?
HARD
Suppose a Ra88226 nucleus at rest and in ground state undergoes α -decay to a Rn86222 nucleus in its excited state. The kinetic energy of the emitted α particle is found to be 4.44 MeV. R86222n nucleus then goes to its ground state by γ -decay. The energy of the emitted γ -photon is _______ keV,
[Given: atomic mass of  88226Ra=226.005u, atomic mass of  86222Rn=222.000u, atomic mass of α particle =4.000u,1u=931MeV/c2, c is speed of the light]
