Question -

From the relation R0A1/3,where R0 is a constant and isthe mass number of a nucleus, show that the nuclear matter density is nearlyconstant (i.e. independent of A).



Answer -

We have the expression for nuclear radius as:

R0A1/3

Where,

R0 = Constant.

A = Mass number of the nucleus

Nuclear matterdensity, 

Let m be the average mass ofthe nucleus.

Hence, mass of the nucleus = mA

Hence, the nuclear matter density isindependent of A. It is nearly constant.
