A nucleus of mass number 189189 splits into two nuclei having mass number 125125 and 6464. The ratio of radius of two daughter nuclei respectively is:

Options

  1. A4:54: 5
  2. B5:45: 4
  3. C25:1625: 16
  4. D1:11: 1

Correct answer

B. 5:45: 4

Step-by-step solution

The relation between radius (R)\left(R\right) of nuclei and mass number (A)\left(A\right) is given by, R=R0A13R = {R}_{0}A\dfrac{1}{3}, where R0{R}_{0} is fermi constant.

Thus, R1R2=(A1A2)13=(12564)13=54\dfrac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}} = \left(\dfrac{{A}_{1}}{{A}_{2}}\right)\dfrac{1}{3} = \left(\dfrac{125}{64}\right)\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{5}{4}.
