Q. If the speed of light were 2/3 of its present value, the energy released in a given atomic explosion will be decreased by a fraction of

(a) 2/3

(b) 4/9

(c) 4/3

(d) 5/9

Ans: (b)
Sol: E = mc2

$ \displaystyle E’ = m (\frac{2 c}{3})^2 $

$\displaystyle E’ = \frac{4}{9}m c^2 $

$ \displaystyle E’ = \frac{4}{9} E $
