The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the two statements A and B regarding nuclear density and the relationship between the radius of a nucleus and its mass number. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Nuclear density is the same for all nuclei." - The nuclear density (ρ) can be expressed as: \[ \rho = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{m_p \cdot A}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3} \] where \(m_p\) is the mass of a proton, \(A\) is the mass number, and \(R\) is the radius of the nucleus. - It is known that the radius \(R\) of a nucleus is proportional to \(A^{1/3}\): \[ R \propto A^{1/3} \] - Substituting \(R\) in the density formula, we find that the density remains constant for different nuclei because both the mass and volume change proportionally with \(A\). **Conclusion for Statement A:** True. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "Radius of the nucleus \(R\) and its mass number \(A\) are related as \(\sqrt{A} \propto R^{1/6}\)." - From the known relationship: \[ R \propto A^{1/3} \] - If we express this in terms of \(A\): \[ A \propto R^3 \] - Taking the square root of \(A\): \[ \sqrt{A} \propto R^{3/2} \] - This indicates that the relationship is not as stated in Statement B. The correct relationship is: \[ \sqrt{A} \propto R^{3/2} \] **Conclusion for Statement B:** False. ### Final Conclusion - Statement A is true, and Statement B is false. Therefore, the correct answer is: **A is true but B is false.** ### Answer: A is true but B is false. ---
