    The radius of a nucleus, with nucleon number \[16is3\times {{10}^{-15}}m.\] The radius of other nucleus with nucleon number 128, will be :

    A)  \[6\times {{10}^{-15}}m\]                          

    B)  \[3\times {{10}^{-15}}m\]

    C)  \[4.5\times {{10}^{-15}}m\]       

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Radius of nucleus is proportional the cube root of atomic number A Hence,      \[R\propto {{A}^{1/3}}\] Hence,       \[\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}} \right)}^{1/3}}\]                   ...(i) Here, \[{{R}_{1}}=3\times {{10}^{-15}}m,\,\,{{A}_{1}}16,\,{{A}_{2}}=128\]                 \[\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{128}{16} \right)}^{1/3}}\]                 \[{{R}_{2}}={{\left( \frac{128}{16} \right)}^{1/3}}\times {{R}_{1}}=2{{R}_{1}}\]                 \[=2\times 3\times {{10}^{-15}}=6\times {{10}^{-15}}m\]
