11 atomic mass unit (u\mathrm{u}) is equivalent, by E=mc2E=mc^2, to an energy of about 931.5 MeV931.5\,\mathrm{MeV}.

(Note: the stem as given is worded ambiguously — it is not fully clear whether it wants the mass-to-energy value or its inverse — so the standard, exam-relevant fact behind this question is given below rather than guessed at.)

By Einstein's mass–energy equivalence relation E=mc2E = mc^2, one atomic mass unit,

1 u=1.66×10−27 kg1\,\mathrm{u} = 1.66\times10^{-27}\,\mathrm{kg}

corresponds to an energy

E=(1.66×10−27)(3×108)2 J≈1.5×10−10 J≈931.5 MeVE = (1.66\times10^{-27})(3\times10^{8})^2\,\mathrm{J} \approx 1.5\times10^{-10}\,\mathrm{J} \approx 931.5\,\mathrm{MeV}
