After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be more than that of their parent nucleus.
JEE Main 2010 — Physics Modern Physics
A nucleus of mass M+Δm is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass 2M each. Speed of light is c. 40. The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is E1 and that for the daughter nuclei is E2. Then

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The electromagnetic wave exerts pressure on the surface on which they are allowed to fall. Reason (R): There is no mass associated with the electromagnetic waves. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at $V_{z}=5 \mathrm{~V}$ and the desired current in load is 5 mA. The unregulated voltage source can supply upto 25 V. Considering the Zener diode can withstand four times of the load current, the value of resistor $R_{S}$ (shown in circuit) should be $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$. 
The minimum frequency of photon required to break a particle of mass 15.348 amu into $4 \alpha$ particles is $\_\_\_\_$ kHz. [mass of He nucleus = $4.002 \mathrm{amu}, 1 \mathrm{amu}=1.66 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{~h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}. \mathrm{s}$ and $\mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ ]
The work function of a metal is 4.2 eV. The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is approximately:
A voltage regulating circuit consisting of Zener diode, having break-down voltage of 10 V and maximum power dissipation of 0.4 W, is operated at 15 V. The approximate value of protective resistance in this circuit is $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$.
