Chapter 11: Nucleus: Sf026: Past Year PSPM Questions

This document contains past year questions from the PSPM II (Physics Secondary School Proficiency Module II) exam related to nuclear binding energy and mass defect. The questions assess understanding of concepts like binding energy, calculating binding energy from given mass data, and determining binding energy per nucleon. Sample calculations are provided for binding energy of carbon-12, tritium-3, and nickel-60 nuclei.
