Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) A nucleus of mass number A has a radius R given by the expression \( R = R_0 A^{1/3} \)
(B) Volume of nucleus is proportional to mass number A
(C) The density of nucleus increases with the radius of nucleus.
(D) Density of nuclear matter does not depend on its mass number A
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (C) only
  2. B (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  3. C (A), (B) and (D) only
  4. D (B) and (C) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Correct. (B) \( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (R_0 A^{1/3})^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3 A \). Thus \( V \propto A \). Correct. (C) \( \rho = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \approx \frac{A \cdot m_p}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3 A} = \frac{m_p}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3} \).…
