Correct answer: 8

  1. Given data
  • Atomic number of nucleus: Z=50Z = 50Z=50
  • Radius of nucleus: R=9×10−13 cmR = 9 \times 10^{-13}\,\text{cm}R=9×10−13cm
  • Charge of nucleus: Q=Ze=50×1.6×10−19 CQ = Ze = 50 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,\text{C}Q=Ze=50×1.6×10−19C
  1. Convert radius into SI unit

1 cm=10−2 m1\,\text{cm} = 10^{-2}\,\text{m}1cm=10−2m

So, R=9×10−13×10−2=9×10−15 mR = 9 \times 10^{-13} \times 10^{-2} = 9 \times 10^{-15}\,\text{m}R=9×10−13×10−2=9×10−15m

  1. Potential at the surface of a nucleus

For a spherically symmetric charged nucleus, potential at the surface is

V=14πε0QRV = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{Q}{R}V=4πε0​1​RQ​

Using 14πε0=9×109 SI units\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,\text{SI units}4πε0​1​=9×109SI units

Substitute values:

V=9×109×50×1.6×10−199×10−15V = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{50 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9 \times 10^{-15}}V=9×109×9×10−1550×1.6×10−19​

  1. Simplify

First cancel 999:

V=109×50×1.6×10−4V = 10^9 \times 50 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-4}V=109×50×1.6×10−4

because 10−1910−15=10−4\frac{10^{-19}}{10^{-15}} = 10^{-4}10−1510−19​=10−4

Now, 50×1.6=8050 \times 1.6 = 8050×1.6=80

Hence, V=109×80×10−4V = 10^9 \times 80 \times 10^{-4}V=109×80×10−4

V=80×105V = 80 \times 10^5V=80×105

V=8×106 VV = 8 \times 10^6\,\text{V}V=8×106V

  1. Required integer

The question asks for:

‾×106 V\underline{\hspace{1cm}} \times 10^6\,\text{V}​×106V

So the required integer is

888

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 888

My derived answer = 888

They agree.
