What is the formula of density of a nucleus

Density is defined as its mass divided by its volume. In the same way density of nucleus is defined as the ratio of mass of nucleus to its spherical volume. The mass of nucleus is equal to number of nucleons in nucleus (A) and the mass of single nucleon (m). Since mass of neutron and proton are same.

M = A m.

Nucleus is spherical in shape with radius r. So volume of nucleus (V) = 4/3(Π r3).
So Formula of density of a nucleus.
formula of density of a nucleus

Where A = number of nucleons in nucleus

m = mass of single nucleon

r = Radius of nucleus.

What is the formula of radius of a nucleus?

Experiments that studies the size of nuclei indicate that the volume of nuclei is directly proportional to the total number of nucleons present.

Vn ∝ A  

where Vn = volume of nuclei and A = mass number

For sphere, V ∝ r3

where r = radius of a nucleus

Substituting value of V in above equation we get,

r3 ∝ A

So, r ∝ A1/3

Using R0 as a proportionality constant we get,

r = A1/3 R0

where A = mass number, r = radius of a nucleus and R0 = proportionality constant.

R0 = 1.25 fm (femtometre) with typical deviations of up to 0.2 fm from this value.

1 a.m.u. = 1.66 × 10-27 kg
1 a.m.u. = 931 × 106 eV
1 a.m.u. = 931 MeV

What is the value of electron volt (eV) and milli-electron volt (MeV)?

Electron volt is defined as the energy acquired by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.

The value of electron volt (eV) is given as,

1 eV = (1.602 × 10-19 coulomb) × (1 volt)
1 eV = 1.602 × 10-19 joule

The value of milli-electron volt (MeV) is given as,

1 MeV = 105 eV
1 MeV = 1.602 × 10-13 J

What is the formula for Bragg’s law?

As per Bragg’s law, certain crystals at certain specific wavelengths and incident angles produced intense peaks of reflected radiation.

The formula for Bragg’s law is given as,
 n λ = 2d sinƟ

λ = wavelength                    
Ɵ = glancing angle
d = spacing between atomic planes
n = Integer series of reflection.
