Atoms and Nuclei question

2024 · 1 Feb · Shift 1 · Q85

JEE MainPhysicsAtoms and NucleiNumerical+4 / −1
The radius of a nucleus of mass number 64 is 4.8 fermi. Then the mass number of another nucleus having radius of 4 fermi is 1000x\frac{1000}{x}x1000​, where xxx is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 27

  1. For nuclei, the radius-mass number relation is R=R0A1/3R = R_0 A^{1/3}R=R0​A1/3 where RRR is nuclear radius and AAA is mass number.

  2. For the first nucleus: R1=4.8 fm,A1=64R_1 = 4.8\,\text{fm}, \quad A_1 = 64R1​=4.8fm,A1​=64 So, 4.8=R0(64)1/34.8 = R_0 (64)^{1/3}4.8=R0​(64)1/3 Since 641/3=4,64^{1/3} = 4,641/3=4, we get R0=4.84=1.2 fmR_0 = \frac{4.8}{4} = 1.2\,\text{fm}R0​=44.8​=1.2fm

  3. For the second nucleus: R2=4 fmR_2 = 4\,\text{fm}R2​=4fm Using R2=R0A21/3,R_2 = R_0 A_2^{1/3},R2​=R0​A21/3​, 4=1.2 A21/34 = 1.2\, A_2^{1/3}4=1.2A21/3​ Therefore, A21/3=41.2=103A_2^{1/3} = \frac{4}{1.2} = \frac{10}{3}A21/3​=1.24​=310​

  4. Cube both sides: A2=(103)3=100027A_2 = \left(\frac{10}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{1000}{27}A2​=(310​)3=271000​ The question says mass number is 1000x\frac{1000}{x}x1000​, so x=27x = 27x=27

  5. Final answer: 27\boxed{27}27​

  6. Comparison with stored correct answer: Stored correct answer = 27, which matches the derived answer.
