The surface areas of two nuclei are in the ratio 9: 25 . The mass numbers of the nuclei are in the ratio
Options
- A27: 125
- B9: 25
- C3: 5
- D1: 1
Correct answer
A. 27: 125
Step-by-step solution
For two nuclei, A₁ A₂ = 9 25 R₁^2 R₂^2 = 9 25 R₁ R₂ = 3 5 Ratio of radii, R₁ R₂ = ( A₁ A₂ )^ 1 3 A₁ A₂ = ( R₁ R₂ )^3= ( 3 5 )^3= 27 125
