उत्तर
To find the density of nucleus of an atom, we have an atom with mass number lets say A. (Here, we are neglecting mass of the orbital electrons)
Mass of the nucleus of the atom of the mass number A.
= A a.m.u
= A × 1.660565 × 10−27 kg
Let radius of nucleus is R.
Then,volume of nucleus, `=4/3 piR^3`
`= 4/3 pi (R_0A^(1/3))^3`
`=4/3 piR_0^3A`
Now, we know R0 = 1.1 × 10−15 m
∴Volume of nucleus` 4/3 pi (1.1 xx 10^-15)^3 xx Am^3`
Density of the nucleus
`δ = (\text { Mass of nucleus})/(\text { Volume of nucleus})`
`= (A xx 1.6605 xx 10^-27)/(4/3pi (1.1 xx 10^-15)^3 xx A)`
`= 2.97 xx 10^17 kgm^-3`
Thus, we can see the density of nuclei is independent of the mass number and is constant for all nuclei.

Atomic mass unit (u) is defined as ________ of the mass of the carbon (12C) atom.
Deuteron is a bound state of a neutron and a proton with a binding energy B = 2.2 MeV. A γ-ray of energy E is aimed at a deuteron nucleus to try to break it into a (neutron + proton) such that the n and p move in the direction of the incident γ-ray. If E = B, show that this cannot happen. Hence calculate how much bigger than B must E be for such a process to happen.
Before the neutrino hypothesis, the beta decay process was throught to be the transition, `n -> p + vece`. If this was true, show that if the neutron was at rest, the proton and electron would emerge with fixed energies and calculate them. Experimentally, the electron energy was found to have a large range.
