Question

in the study of Geiger and marsden experiment on scattering of
alpha particles by a thin foil of gold draw the trajectory of alpha
particles in the coulomb field of target nucleus Explain briefly
how one gets the information on the size of the nucleus from this
study from the relation R= R0A1/3 where
R0 is constant and A is the mass number of the nucleus,
show that nuclear matter density is independent of A

Pintu B. · Accepted Answer

Dear Student , Here is the solution of the question is given below : We have the expression for nuclear radius as: R = R0A1/3 Where, R0 = Constant A = Mass number of the nucleus Nuclear matter density,

Let m be the average mass of the nucleus Hence, mass of the nucleus = mA

Hence, the nuclear matter density is independent of A It is nearly constant Kindly ask different question in different posts Regards
