Given that the masses of a proton, a neutron, and the nucleus of \({ }_{50}^{120} \mathrm{Sn}\) are \(1.00783~\mathrm{u},\) \(1.00867~\mathrm{u},\) and \(119.902199~ \mathrm{u},\) respectively. The binding energy per nucleon of the tin nucleus is: \((1~\text{u}=931~\text{Mev})\)
1. | \(9~\text{MeV}\) | 2. | \(8.5~\text{MeV}\) |
3. | \(8.0~\text{MeV}\) | 4. | \(7.5~\text{MeV}\) |
1. | \(150\) MeV | 2. | \(314.6\) MeV |
3. | \(208.4\) MeV | 4. | \(290.8\) MeV |
Assertion (A): | Binding energy per nucleon for nuclei (atomic number \(30\) to \(107\)) is independent of atomic number. |
Reason (R): | Nuclear force is short-range force. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
