The radius of a nucleus varies with its mass number A as:

  1. A directly proportional to A
  2. B inversely proportional to A
  3. C directly proportional to \(A^{1/3}\)
  4. D proportional to \(\sqrt{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) directly proportional to \(A^{1/3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The radius \((R)\) of a nucleus is related to its mass number \((A)\) by the formula \(R=R_0 A^{1 / 3}\), where \(R_0\) is a constant approximately equal to \(1 . 2 ~ f m\). This relationship exists because the volume of the nucleus is directly proportional to the total number…
