The ratio of the mass densities of the nuclei \({ }^{40} \mathrm{Ca}\) and \({ }^{16} \mathrm{O}\) is close to:
1. | \(0.1\) | 2. | \(2\) |
3. | \(5\) | 4. | \(1\) |
The radius \(R\) of a nucleus of mass number \(A\) can be estimated by the formula \({R}=\left(1.3 \times 10^{-15}\right) A^{1 / 3} ~\text{m}\) , It follows that the mass density of a nucleus is of the order of: \(\left(M_{\text {propt. }}=M_{\text {neut. }}=1.67 \times 10^{-27} ~\text{kg}\right)\)
1. \( 10^{10}~ \text{kg}\text{m}^{-3} \)
2. \( 10^{24} ~\text{kg} \text{m}^{-3} \)
3. \( 10^{17} ~\text{kg} \text{m}^{-3} \)
4. \( 10^{3} ~\text{kg} \text{m}^{-3} \)
The four graphs show different possible relationships between \(\text{ln}\left(\dfrac{{R}}{{R}_0}\right)\) and \(\text{ln}(A).\)
(where \(R\) is the radius of a nucleus and \(A \) is the mass number of the nucleus)
