Physics 4603 Test L February 10, 2005 Questions: = Briefly explain each of the following terms: Isobars, Isotopes, and Isotones, _2. Whatis the typical binding energy per nucleon in nucleus? ¥ 3,) Before 1932 it was believed that the nucleus contains A protons, and 4—Z electrons. Give two reasons that the presence cf electrons within the nucleus is unsatisfactory do Zi dQ _AC The Rutherford differential cross-section is: —— =| ———— 1676,T properties? Fora tree neuvon, the experimental value forthe “sping factor” g, =~3.826084 +0.000002 . What does it mean? How do you explain i? Problems: 1. Forthe nuclide '{O the neutron and proton separation energies are 15.7 Mev and 12.2 Mev respectively. Estimate the radius of this nuclous assuming that the particles are removed from its surface and thet the difference in separation energies is due to the Coulomb potential energy of the proton 2. The charge form factor F(q) of the nucleus, fora spherical charge distribution is given by. Fea) = 5 furrsinGan eo) 3 a. Consider an interesting nucleus 1 spherical charge distribution given by 1 if x>0, where © (x) = 0 if x <0 equation for F(q), obtain the charge form factor for this nucleus. pr) O(a- Using above Qaar‘Show that the most strongly bound isobar of mass 4 has the atomic number 4 = 37a: Where: x oO 20h 4.
