| Jun 4, 2022 at 8:52 | comment | added | Debanjan Biswas | The defected mass is converted into energy and the energy is the binding energy. | |
| Jun 4, 2022 at 8:50 | comment | added | Debanjan Biswas | Yes! Exactly it is. And the speed of light is nearly $3×10^{8} m/s$ in a vaccum. So, if a very small amount of mass is converted into energy. The amount of energy is too huge. | |
| Jun 4, 2022 at 7:40 | comment | added | Nuclear fusion | It means that mass and energy are two faces of a coin. A body's mass is its mass + energy contained in it. We can convert mass to energy by multiplying the speed. Of light squared | |
| Jun 4, 2022 at 5:40 | comment | added | Debanjan Biswas | @Nuclearfusion Can you tell me what does $E = mc²$ mean? Answer what you understand. I think your understanding isn't clear. So, you are facing problems with it. | |
| Jun 4, 2022 at 4:56 | comment | added | Nuclear fusion | I still don't understand how does so much energy gets released during nuclear fusion? How is it related to mass defect and binding energy? Does negative potential energy play any role in it? Why is the helium nucleus at a lower energy state than hydrogen? | |

| Jun 3, 2022 at 14:47 | comment | added | Debanjan Biswas | Mass and energy are the same thing of different forms. When nuclear fusion occurs, the anti particles of nucleons brake and build up a thousands of photons. The particles brake due to the energy required to fuse the nucleis. Photons are the energy particles of electromagnetic waves. The energy produced by the photons is called the binding energy. Because, some particles of the initial nuclei are converted into energy, the mass of the final nuclei is less than the initial nuclei. | |
| Jun 3, 2022 at 9:24 | comment | added | Nuclear fusion | Ummm... It is helped to an extent but can you tell why does mass defect exactly occur??? What causes the mass of the final nucleus to be smaller then the initial Nuclei???? Why is this related to binding energy???? Please help ... | |
