A carbon-12 atom has a mass defect of 0.9564 amu. what is its nuclear binding energy? round to 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

A carbon-12 atom has a mass defect of 0.09564 amu. What is its nuclear binding energy? Round to 3 significant figures. x 10 J per carbon-12 atom

First use the formula;

1 amu =934 MeV

therefore 0.09564 will have

934 x 934

= 89.3 MeV

the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation . it is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.

so the answer would be radiation.
