JEE Main 2025 Physics question
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : The density of the copper nucleus is greater than that of the carbon nucleus. Reason (R) : The nucleus of mass number A has a radius proportional to . In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Answer: (2)
Solution
Nuclear density is independent of mass number, so (A) is incorrect; (R) is a correct statement about nuclear radius.
