The question is attached.
I'm not sure how to approach to part (b).
The energy released could be in 3 forms, the rest mass energy for those matter ejected during supernova explosion, the binding energy released as the atomic structure changed, the ejected matter carries off some kinetic energy.
I assume the question is only asking for the binding energy (as it mentioned "photons" in part (e))?
Quantum density, the degenerated pressure from electrons and neutrons are mentioned during lecture, but I'm not sure if these are necessary for this question
Please share some ideas with me, or maybe some solutions. Thank you
