The distance between two nucleons for which the potential energy is minimum, is

  1. A 0.2 fm
  2. B 0.6 fm
  3. C 0.8 fm
  4. D 0.1 fm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.8 fm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Corresponding potential energy (in units of MeV) of two nucleons as a function of distance as computed from the Reid potential. The potential well is a minimum at a distance of about, 0.8 fm. With this potential nucleons can become bound with a negative "binding energy."
