Nucleus: Composition, Size & Nuclear Force

If radius of the 1327Al{}_{13}^{27}Al nucleus is estimated to be 3.63.6 fermi then the radius of 52125Te{}_{52}^{125}Te nucleus is estimated to be nearly

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. R∝A1/3R \propto A^{1/3}, so RTe=3.6×(12527)1/3R_{Te} = 3.6 \times \left(\frac{125}{27}\right)^{1/3}.
  2. =3.6×53=6= 3.6 \times \frac{5}{3} = 6 fermi
  3. So the answer is (b) 6 fermi.
