An amu is defined to be one-twelfth the mass of a ¹²C₆ atom, and is equal to 1.660539 ×10?27 kg. Answer the following:

a) To 4 decimal places, what is an amu in MeV/c²?

b) What is the binding energy in MeV of a ¹²₆C atom? The proton, neutron, and electron have masses 938.272 MeV/c², 939.565 MeV/c² and 0.511 MeV/c² respectively.

c) What is the number of neutrons in ²³⁸₉₂U?

d) The mass of an electron is 0.511 MeV/c². Two equal energy photons collide producing an electron positron (anti-electron) pair with zero kinetic energy. What is the energy in MeV of each of the photons?

e) In the decay ²³⁸U₉₂ -> ²³⁴Th₉₀ + ⁴?₂, the electric charge of the uranium nucleus is_____________, the electric charge of thorium nucleus is_____________, and the electric charge of the alpha is___________.
