Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The nuclear radius \(R\) is given by the formula \(R = R_0 A^{1/3}\), where \(R_0\) is a constant and \(A\) is the mass number of the nucleus. For \(^{27}\mathrm{Al}\), the mass number \(A_1 = 27\) and the radius \(R_1 = 3.6 \text{ fermi}\). Using the formula,…
