The density (in \(\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-3}\) ) of nuclear matter is of the order of

  1. A \(10^{21}\)
  2. B \(10^{17}\)
  3. C \(10^{12}\)
  4. D \(10^8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10^{17}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \rho = \frac{m}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R_0^3} \) \( \rho \approx \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{kg}}{\frac{4}{3} \pi (1.2 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{m})^3} \approx 2.3 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-3} \) Order of magnitude: \( 10^{17} \)
