In the nuclear fission of one nucleus of $U^{235}$,the energy released is $188 \text{ MeV}$. The energy released in the nuclear fission of $235 \text{ g}$ of $U^{235}$ is nearly (Avogadro number $= 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}$)

Assertion : Energy is released in nuclear fission.
Reason : Total binding energy of the fission fragments is larger than the total binding energy of the parent nucleus.

If three helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,then the energy released in this reaction is $\times 10^{-2} \text{ MeV}$. (Given $1 \text{ u} = 931 \text{ MeV}/c^2$,atomic mass of helium $= 4.002603 \text{ u}$,atomic mass of carbon $= 12.000000 \text{ u}$)

$A$ $\gamma$-ray photon creates an electron-positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is $0.51 \, MeV$ and the total kinetic energy of the electron-positron pair is $0.78 \, MeV$,then the energy of the $\gamma$-ray photon in $MeV$ is:

The binding energy of deuteron $_1^2H$ is $1.112 \, MeV$ per nucleon and an $\alpha$-particle $_2^4He$ has a binding energy of $7.047 \, MeV$ per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction $_1^2H + _1^2H \to _2^4He + Q$,the energy $Q$ released is ........ $MeV$.
