In a nuclear fission reaction of an isotope of mass $M$, three similar daughter nuclei of same mass are formed. The speed of a daughter nuclei in terms of mass defect $\Delta M$ will be :
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \begin{aligned}
& (\mathrm{X}) \rightarrow(\mathrm{Y})+(\mathrm{Z})+(\mathrm{P}) \\
& \begin{array}{llll}
\mathrm{M} & \mathrm{M} / 3 & \mathrm{M} / 3 & \mathrm{M} / 3
\end{array} \\
\end{aligned} \\
& \Delta \mathrm{Mc}^2=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{M}}{3} \mathrm{~V}^2+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{M}}{3} \mathrm{~V}^2+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{M}}{3} \mathrm{~V}^2 \\
& \mathrm{~V}=\mathrm{c} \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{M}}}
\end{aligned}$$</p>
