JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

Assume that protons and neutrons have equal masses. Mass of a nucleon is \(1.6 \times 10^{-27}\,kg\) and radius of nucleus is \(1.5 \times 10^{-15} A ^{1 / 3}\,m\). The approximate ratio of the nuclear density and water density is \(n \times 10^{13}\). The value of \(n\) is \(.................\)

  1. A \(11\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(16\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { density of nuclei }=\frac{\text { mass of nuclei }}{\text { volume of nuclei }}\) \(\rho=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-27} A }{\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(1.5 \times 10^{-15}\right)^3 A } \) \(=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-27}}{14.14 \times 10^{-45}}=0.113 \times 10^{18}\)…
