Question

Consider two nuclei, A of mass number 27 and B of mass number 64. Considering them as liquid-drops, the ratio of their densities (dAdB)(\frac{d_A}{d_B})​ will be:

A.

916\frac{9}{16}​​

B.

32\frac{\sqrt3}{2}​​

C.

1

D.

34\frac{3}{4}​​

Correct option is C

 Mass number of nucleus A=27 Mass number of nucleus B=64\begin{aligned}\bullet\ \text{Mass number of nucleus A} &= 27 \\\bullet\ \text{Mass number of nucleus B} &= 64\end{aligned}

According to the liquid drop model, the radius R of a nucleus is proportional to the cube root of its mass number:R=R0A1/3So, For nucleus A:RA=R0(27)1/3=3R0 For nucleus B:RB=R0(64)1/3=4R0\begin{aligned}&\text{According to the liquid drop model, the radius } R \text{ of a nucleus is proportional to the cube root of its mass number:} \\&\qquad R = R_0 A^{1/3} \\&\text{So,} \\&\bullet\ \text{For nucleus A:} \quad R_A = R_0 (27)^{1/3} = 3R_0 \\&\bullet\ \text{For nucleus B:} \quad R_B = R_0 (64)^{1/3} = 4R_0\end{aligned}Volume of a nucleus is proportional to R3, so: For nucleus A:VA=43π(3R0)3=43π27R03ρA=massvolume=27x43π27R03=3x4πR03 For nucleus B:VB=43π(4R0)3=43π64R03ρB=64x43π64R03=3x4πR03ρAρB=3x/4πR033x/4πR03=1\begin{aligned}&\text{Volume of a nucleus is proportional to } R^3, \text{ so:} \\&\bullet\ \text{For nucleus A:} \\&\quad V_A = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3R_0)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 27R_0^3 \\&\quad \rho_A = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{27x}{\frac{4}{3} \pi 27R_0^3} = \frac{3x}{4 \pi R_0^3} \\&\bullet\ \text{For nucleus B:} \\&\quad V_B = \frac{4}{3} \pi (4R_0)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 64R_0^3 \\&\quad \rho_B = \frac{64x}{\frac{4}{3} \pi 64R_0^3} = \frac{3x}{4 \pi R_0^3} \\&\quad \frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = \frac{3x / 4 \pi R_0^3}{3x / 4 \pi R_0^3} = 1\end{aligned}​​​
