Mass-energy Conversion

Question

Energy released in nuclear reaction given mass defect Δm is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle, mass can be converted into energy. The energy ($E$) released or absorbed in a nuclear process is directly related to the change in mass ($\Delta m$) by the equation $E = \Delta m c^2$, where $c$ is the speed of light in a vacuum ($3 	imes 10^8 \, 	ext{m/s}$).
