Question
Obtain approximately the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold isotope `""_97^197 "Au"` and the silver isotope `""_47^197"Ag"`.

Solution
Nuclear radius of the gold isotope `""_79"Au"^197` = RAu
Nuclear radius of the silver isotope `""_47"Ag"^107` = RAg
Mass number of gold, AAu = 197
Mass number of silver, AAg = 107
The ratio of the radii of the two nuclei is related with their mass numbers as:
`"R"_"Au"/"R"_"Ag" = ("R"_"Au"/"R"_"Ag")^(1/3)`
`= (197/107)^(1/3) = 1.2256`
Hence, the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold and silver isotopes is about 1.23.

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.
