What is the percentage difference mass loss between a Helium nucleus and 4 protons?
My math came out to 99% but I think I did something wrong (this assumes the mass for of 4 protons is 6.6792 x 10^-27kg and a the mass of a helium nucleus is 6.6892e x 10^-27kg (Units need to be in kilograms to use with e=mc^2)
If a gamma ray from super nova emission has a packet of 10^20photon per one second, the wavelength of this gamma ray is 10^-12 meters. What is the energy of this gamma ray in units of Mega Joules per second, if it directly hit the earth’s atmosphere?
Consider the two nuclear reactions I: A + B → C + E II: C + D → F + G(a) Show that the net disintegration energy for these two reactions (Qnet = QI + QII) is identical to the disintegration energy for the net reaction A + B + D → E + F + G(b) One chain of reactions in the Sun’s core is the protonproton cycle. Based on part (a), what is Qnet for this sequence?
