Binding energy and rest mass energy of a two-nucleon bound state are denoted by \( B \) and \( mc^2 \), respectively, where \( c \) is the speed of light. The minimum energy of a photon required to dissociate the bound state is _______.

According to the nuclear shell model, the absolute value of the difference in magnetic moments of \({^{15}_{8}O}\) and \({^{15}_{7}N}\), in the units of nuclear magneton (\(\mu\)), is \(\frac{a}{3}\). The magnitude of \(a\) is (in integer).

Let P, Q and R be three different nuclei. Which one of the following nuclear processes is possible?

Consider the induced nuclear fission reaction:
\[ {}^{235}_{92}\text{U} + n \rightarrow {}^{93}_{37}\text{Rb} + {}^{141}_{55}\text{Cs} + 2n \]
where neutron momenta in both initial and final states are negligible. The ratio of the kinetic energies (KE) of the daughter nuclei,
\[ \frac{\text{KE}({}^{93}_{37}\text{Rb})}{\text{KE}({}^{141}_{55}\text{Cs})} \]
is __________.
