Question

Einstein's equation E=mc2 helps scientists understand the sun's energy because the equation..

A. describes nuclear fission
B. explains how mass can be converted into huge amounts of energy
C. describes solar flares
D. explains a star's specific wavelengths of light

Answer 1

B. explains how mass can be converted into huge amounts of energy.

Answer 2

B.

This equation quantifies the inter convertibility of mass and energy and helps us understand the large amount of energy that would be released if mass were converted to energy.
