Nucleus: Composition, Size & Nuclear Force

The radius of germanium (Ge) nuclide is measured to be twice the radius of 49{}_{4}^{9}Be. The number of nucleons in Ge are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. R∝A1/3⇒A∝R3R \propto A^{1/3} \Rightarrow A \propto R^3.
  2. AGe9=23=8\frac{A_{Ge}}{9} = 2^3 = 8
  3. AGe=72A_{Ge} = 72
  4. So the answer is (a) 72.
