The binding energy of a deuteron is 2.22 MeV. This means that
A) deuterons can be broken up by bombarding them with electromagnetic radiation possessing energy of at least 2.22 MeV.
B) deuterons can be broken up by bombarding them with particles possessing energy of at least 2.22 MeV.
C) if the deuterons are bombarded with particles whose energy exeeds 2.22 MeV, the excess energy appears as kinetic energy of the outgoing particles.
D) if the deuterons are bombarded with particles whose energy is less than 2.22 MeV, they will not be decomposed into their constituent parts.
E) all of these are correct.
