      Two nuclei have their mass numbers in the ratio of 1 : 3. The ratio of their, nuclear densities would be                                                                                                                                       [AIPMPT (S) 2008]

    A)  1 : 3  

    B)  3 : 1

    C)  \[{{(3)}^{1/3}}:1\]      

    D)                   1 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Density of nuclear matter is independent of mass number, so the required ratio is 1 : 1.
    Alternative: \[{{A}_{1}}:{{A}_{2}}=1:3\]
    Their radii will be in the ratio
    \[{{R}_{0}}A_{1}^{1/3}:{{R}_{0}}R_{2}^{1/3}=1:{{3}^{1/3}}\]
    Density \[=\frac{A}{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{\rho }_{{{A}_{1}}}}:{{\rho }_{{{A}_{2}}}}=\frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_{0}^{3}{{.1}^{3}}}=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_{0}^{3}{{({{3}^{1/3}})}^{3}}}\]
       Their nuclear densities will be the same.
