JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

An atom \({ }_3^8 X\) is bombarded by shower of fundamental particles and in 10 s this atom absorbed 10 electrons, 10 protons and 9 neutrons. The percentage growth in the surface area of the nucleons is recorded by :

  1. A 250%
  2. B 150%
  3. C 225%
  4. D 900%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 225%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Surface area \(x \propto A ^{2 / 3}\) \(X_i=8^{2 / 3} K=4 K\) \(X_f=(8+10+9)^{2 / 3} K=9 K\) % increase in surface area of nucleus \(x_i=\frac{9 K-4 K}{4 K} \times 100=125\) %
