JEE Main & Advanced Physics Nuclear Physics And Radioactivity Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Nuclei

  • question_answer
    If the nucleus  \[_{13}^{27}Al\] has nuclear radius of about 3.6 fm, then \[_{32}^{125}Te\] would have its radius approximately as

    A)  9.6 fm

    B)  12.0 fm

    C)  4.8 fm

    D)  6.0 fm.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] It has been known that a nucleus of mass number A has radius \[R={{R}_{0}}{{A}^{1/3}},\] where \[{{R}_{0}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-15}}m\] and A = mass number In case of \[_{13}^{27}A\ell ,\] let nuclear radius be \[{{R}_{1}}\] and for \[_{32}^{125}Te,\] nuclear radius be \[{{R}_{2}}\] For \[_{13}^{27}Al,\,\,\,{{R}_{1}}={{R}_{0}}{{(27)}^{1/3}}=3{{R}_{0}}\] For \[_{32}^{125}Te,\,\,{{R}_{2}}={{R}_{0}}{{(125)}^{1/3}}=5{{R}_{0}}\] \[\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}}=\frac{5{{R}_{0}}}{3{{R}_{0}}}=\frac{5}{3}{{R}_{1}}=\frac{5}{3}\times 3.6=6fm\]
