How is mass-energy equivalence demonstrated in the Sun?

A. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a larger nucleus, and a small amount of mass is converted into energy.

B. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a larger nucleus by absorbing a large amount of energy and converting it into a small amount of mass.

Kramer · Answer 1

Hydrogen nuclei combine together to a larger nucleus, and a little amount of mass is converted into energy.

Answer: A

Explanation:

The mass-energy equivalence in the sun can be demonstrated through a process called as nuclear fusion.

The process of combination of small nuclei to form large nuclei by emitting certain amount of energy in the form of light and heat is called as nuclear fusion.

In sun, the same process occurs in which the small nuclei of hydrogen fuse to form a larger nucleus of helium, and a little amount of mass is changed into light and heat.
