JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 6th September Evening Slot - No. 18)
Given the masses of various atomic particles
mp = 1.0072 u, mn = 1.0087 u, me = 0.000548 u,
$${m_{\overline v }}$$ = 0, md = 2.0141 u, where p $$ \equiv $$ proton, n $$ \equiv $$ neutron,
e $$ \equiv $$ electron, $$\overline v $$ $$ \equiv $$ antineutrino and d $$ \equiv $$ deuteron. Which of the following process is allowed by momentum and energy conservation?

n + n $$ \to $$ deuterium atom
(electron bound to the nucleus)
(electron bound to the nucleus)
n + p $$ \to $$ d + $$\gamma $$
p $$ \to $$ n + e+ + $$\overline v $$
e+ + e- $$ \to $$ $$\gamma $$
Explanation
n + n $$ \to $$ deuterium atom (This is incorrect)
Correct is n + p $$ \to $$ d + $$\gamma $$
p $$ \to $$ n + e+ + $$\overline v $$
(This is incorrect as mass is increasing)
e+ + e- $$ \to $$ $$\gamma $$ (This is incorrect)
Correct is e+ + e- $$ \to $$ 2$$\gamma $$
Correct is n + p $$ \to $$ d + $$\gamma $$
p $$ \to $$ n + e+ + $$\overline v $$
(This is incorrect as mass is increasing)
e+ + e- $$ \to $$ $$\gamma $$ (This is incorrect)
Correct is e+ + e- $$ \to $$ 2$$\gamma $$
