Activities of three radioactive substances A, B and C are represented by the curves A, B and C, in the figure. Then their half-lives
$${T_{{1 \over 2}}}\left( A \right)$$ : $${T_{{1 \over 2}}}\left( B \right)$$ : $${T_{{1 \over 2}}}\left( C \right)$$ are in the ratio :

Find the Binding energy per neucleon for $${}_{50}^{120}Sn$$. Mass of proton m_p = 1.00783 U, mass of neutron m_n = 1.00867 U and mass of tin nucleus m_Sn = 119.902199 U. (take 1U = 931 MeV)

Hydrogen ion and singly ionized helium atom are accelerated, from rest, through the same potential difference. The ratio of final speeds of hydrogen and helium ions is close to :

The radius R of a nucleus of mass number A can be estimated by the formula
R = (1.3 $$ \times $$ 10^–15)A^1/3 m.
It follows that the mass density of a nucleus is of the order of :

(M_prot. $$ \cong $$ M_neut $$ \simeq $$ 1.67 $$ \times $$ 10^–27 kg)
