  1. A \(1 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(6 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(10 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(16 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & R=R_0 A^{1 / 3} \\ & =1.2 \times 10^{-15} \times(125)^{1 / 3} \\ & =1.2 \times 10^{-15} \times(5)^{3 \times \frac{1}{3}} \\ & =6 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m} .\end{aligned}\)
