Nucleus: Composition, Size & Nuclear Force

If the nuclear force between two protons, two neutrons and between proton and neutron is denoted by Fpp,FnnF_{pp}, F_{nn} and FpnF_{pn} respectively, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. The nuclear force is charge independent.
  2. So the nuclear force is the same for p-p, n-n and p-n pairs at the same separation.
  3. So the answer is (c) Fpp=Fnn=FpnF_{pp} = F_{nn} = F_{pn}.
