Mass numbers of two nuclei are in the ratio of $4: 3$. Their nuclear densities will be in the ratio of
Solution
<p>$\therefore$ $R = {R_0}{A^{{1 \over 3}}}$</p>
<p>$$ \Rightarrow {{{R_1}} \over {{R_2}}} = {\left( {{{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}}} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}} = {\left( {{4 \over 3}} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}}$$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ Density ratio, ${{{\rho _1}} \over {{\rho _2}}} = {{{A_1}/{V_1}} \over {{A_2}/{V_2}}}$</p>
<p>$$ = \left( {{{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}}} \right) \times {\left( {{{{R_2}} \over {{R_1}}}} \right)^3}$$</p>
<p>$= 1:1$</p>
