Two nuclei have mass numbers in the ratio 27:125. The ratio of their nuclear radii would be:

  • A
    5:9
  • B
    9:5
  • C
    5:3
  • Correct answer
    D
    3:5

Solution

Here ,

  A 1 : A 2 =27:125 ⇒ A 1 A 2 = 27 125

Since,   R= R 0 A 1/3

  ∴ R 1 R 2 = A 1 1 3 A 2 1 3 = ( A 1 A 2 ) 1 3                          = ( 27 125 ) 1 3                          = 3 5

  ∴  The ratio of their radii = 3 : 5

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