The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $$\left( {{}_1^2\,H} \right)$$ and helium nucleus $$\left( {{}_2^4\,He} \right)$$ is $$1.1$$ $$MeV$$ and $$7$$ $$MeV$$ respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

An $$\alpha $$-particle of energy $$5$$ $$MeV$$ is scattered through $${180^ \circ }$$ by a fixed uranium nucleus. The distance of closest approach is of the order of

A piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to $$77K,$$ the resistance of

The manifestation of band structure in solids is due to
