Question
Two nuclei have mass numbers in the ratio 1: 3. What is the ratio of their nuclear densities?
Solution
Ratio of mass number in the nucleii, A1 :A2 = 1:3
Since, the nuclear density is same for all nuclei and is independent of the mass ratio, therefore,
∴ ρ1:ρ2 = 1:1
Since, the nuclear density is same for all nuclei and is independent of the mass ratio, therefore,
∴ ρ1:ρ2 = 1:1
