Q121 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (19 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

The range of the nuclear force is

A
$10^{-18} \mathrm{~m}$
B
$10^{-16} \mathrm{~m}$
Correct answer
C
$10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$
D
$10^{-13} \mathrm{~m}$

Solution

For a nuclear force to act, Distance between two nucleons $\leq 1$ fermi $\left(10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\right)$ so, maximum range of nuclear force is $10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
