1. (JEE Main 2024 (Online) 31st January Evening Shift)

The mass number of nucleus having radius equal to half of the radius of nucleus with mass number 192 is :

A.32

B.24

C.20

D.40

Correct answer option is (B)

R 1 = R 2 2 R 0 (   A 1 ) 1 / 3 = R 0 2 (   A 2 ) 1 / 3   A 1 = 1 8   A 2   A 1 = 192 8 = 24

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 1000 x , where x is _______.

Correct answer is 27

According to the empirical formula relating the radius of a nucleus ( R ) with its mass number ( A ), we know that the radius of a nucleus is proportional to the cube root of its mass number. This relationship is given as:

R = R 0 A 1 / 3

where R 0 is a constant with an approximate value of 1.2 fermis.

Given that for a nucleus with a mass number 64 has a radius of 4.8 fermis, we can write:

4.8  fermi = R 0 × 64 1 / 3

Now another nucleus has a radius of 4 fermis:

4  fermi = R 0 × A 1 / 3

Where A is the mass number of the other nucleus.

Let's solve for R 0 from the first equation:

R 0 = 4.8  fermi 64 1 / 3

Now we're going to find the mass number A using the second equation and substituting R 0 from the above:

4  fermi = ( 4.8  fermi 64 1 / 3 ) × A 1 / 3

Now, we want to find A in terms of x as given by the equation in the question:

A = 1000 x

Substitute A in the equation above, we get:

4 = ( 4.8 64 1 / 3 ) × ( 1000 x ) 1 / 3

Let's solve for x :

( 4 ) 3 = ( 4.8 64 1 / 3 ) 3 × 1000 x

4 3 × x = ( 4.8 64 1 / 3 ) 3 × 1000

x = ( ( 4.8 64 1 / 3 ) 3 × 1000 4 3 )

Now calculate the values:

x = ( ( 4.8 4 ) 3 × 1000 64 )

x = ( 1.2 3 × 1000 64 )

x = ( 1.728 × 1000 64 )

x = ( 1728 64 )

x = 27

Therefore, the value of x is 27.

A nucleus has mass number A 1 and volume V 1 . Another nucleus has mass number A 2 and Volume V 2 . If relation between mass number is A 2 = 4 A 1 , then V 2 V 1 = __________.

Correct answer is 4

For a nucleus

Volume: V = 4 3 π R 3

R = R 0 ( A ) 1 / 3   V = 4 3 π R 0 3 A V 2   V 1 = A 2   A 1 = 4
