Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The binding energy per nucleon is found to be practically independent of the atomic number A, for nuclei with mass numbers between 30 and 170.
Reason (R): Nuclear force is long range.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((A)\) is true but (R) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From graph between B.E/N & A we can see BE/N is almost constant \(\Rightarrow\) correct
Reason \(\Rightarrow\) incorrect as nuclear forces are short range forces.
