The graph of lnRR0 versus lnA is where R is radius of a nucleus, A is its mass number, and R0 is constant

  1. A A straight line
  2. B A circle of radius \(R\)
  3. C A parabola
  4. D An ellipse
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A straight line

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the relation mass number A and radius R of a nucleus, R=R0A13  ...(1) Taking the logarithm of both sides, lnR=lnR0A13=lnR0+13lnA⇒lnRR0=13lnA Hence, the graph of lnRR0 vs. 13lnA will be a straight line.
