a question on converting MeV to GeV
hi - I'm stuck on a question...
use the graph to calculate the binding energy of uranium 235 nucleus: the graph gave 7.6MeV i need to give my answers to GeV - and the mark scheme told me to 7.6Mev x 235 to give 1.8GeV?? i thought you just multiplied by 10^3. what happened? thanks! |

Are you sure that the graph didn't show binding energy per nucleon?

but even if you multiplied it by 235, giving the total binding energy, it's still in MeV i did 7.6x10^6 x 235 x 10^3 which gave 1.8x10^12...which is waay too big |
