$A$ heavy nucleus at rest breaks into two fragments which fly off with velocities in the ratio $8 : 1$. The ratio of radii of the fragments is

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $4 : 1$
  • D
    $2 : 1$

If the radius of a nucleus with mass number $125$ is $1.5 \text{ fermi}$, then the radius of a nucleus with mass number $64$ is: (in $\text{ fermi}$)

Two nucleons are at a separation of $1 \times 10^{-15} \ m$. The net force between them is $F_1$ if both are neutrons,$F_2$ if both are protons,and $F_3$ if one is a proton and the other is a neutron. In such a case:

Nuclei with magic numbers of protons $Z = 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82$ and magic numbers of neutrons $N = 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126$ are found to be very stable.
$(i)$ Verify this by calculating the proton separation energy $S_p$ for $^{120}Sn$ $(Z = 50)$ and $^{121}Sb$ $(Z = 51)$. The proton separation energy for a nuclide is the minimum energy required to separate the least tightly bound proton from a nucleus of that nuclide. It is given by $S_p = (M_{Z-1, N} + M_H - M_{Z, N})c^2$. Given:
$^{119}In = 118.9058 \ u, ^{120}Sn = 119.902199 \ u, ^{121}Sb = 120.903824 \ u, ^1H = 1.0078252 \ u$
