Formulas

1. Mass-Energy Relation

ΔE = (Δm)c²

Δm = ΔE / c²

E₀ = m₀c²

2. Pair Production and Pair Annihilation

hv = (-1β⁰) + (+1β⁰)

Minimum γ energy = 2 × 0.51 = 1.02 MeV

(-1β⁰) + (+1β⁰) = hv + hv

E₀ = m₀c²

3. Mass Defect and Binding Energy

Δm = Zmp + (A−Z)mn − mN

BE = (Δm)c² = [Zmp + (A−Z)mn − mN]c²

Eb = [ZmH + (A−Z)mn − m(ZXA)]c²

Eb = [ZmH + (A−Z)mn − m(ZXA)] × 931.5 MeV

Ebn = Eb / A = {[Zmp + (A−Z)mn − MN]/A} × 931.5 MeV/nucleon

4. Binding Energy Curve and Stability

Ebn = Eb / A
