Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $$\mathbf{A}$$ and the other is labelled as Reason $$\mathbf{R}$$
Assertion A : The binding energy per nucleon is practically independent of the atomic number for nuclei of mass number in the range 30 to 170 .
Reason R : Nuclear force is short ranged.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
$$_{92}^{238}A \to _{90}^{234}B + _2^4D + Q$$
In the given nuclear reaction, the approximate amount of energy released will be:
[Given, mass of $${ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{~A}=238.05079 \times 931.5 ~\mathrm{MeV} / \mathrm{c}^{2},$$
mass of $${ }_{90}^{234} B=234 \cdot 04363 \times 931 \cdot 5 ~\mathrm{MeV} / \mathrm{c}^{2},$$
mass of $$\left.{ }_{2}^{4} D=4 \cdot 00260 \times 931 \cdot 5 ~\mathrm{MeV} / \mathrm{c}^{2}\right]$$
A $$12.5 \mathrm{~eV}$$ electron beam is used to bombard gaseous hydrogen at room temperature. The number of spectral lines emitted will be:
