Why aren’t the masses of all nuclei integer multiples of the mass of a single nucleon?
The masses of all nuclei are not integral multiples of the mass of a single nucleon because there is a mass loss in the system.

An electron with a total energy of collides with a stationary positron. (a) What is the available energy? (b) If the electron and positron are accelerated in a collider, what total energy corresponds to the same available energy as in part (a)?
Fission reactions occur only for nuclei with large nucleon numbers, while exoergic fusion reactions occur only for nuclei with small nucleon numbers. Why is this?
In a photoelectric-effect experiment, the photocurrent ifor large positive values of has the same value no matter whatthe light frequency f(provided that f is higher than the thresholdfrequency f0). Explain why.
According to the standard model of the fundamental particles, what are the similarities between quarks and leptons? What are the most important differences?
Figure 40.15a shows that the higher the energy of a bound state for a finite potential well, the more the wave function extends outside the well (into the intervals and ). Explain why this happens.
