use log10 2 = 0.3 & log10e = 0.43


Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 1

Count at  t = 0 is 6 × 103
Count at  t  = 30 is 3 × 102
N0 = 6 × 103 


The correct answer is: 7

If the total angular momentum quantum number of a nucleus (A = 200) is J = 1, and if it is due to the rotation of the nucleus as a rigid body, find out the frequency. (in 1012 rad/s)


Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 2

A = 200
mass = 200 × 1.6 × 10–27 kg
J = 1
⇒  Angular momentum = 

 (for a rigid body with moment of inertia = I)
 (solid sphere since is A is quite high)


The correct answer is: 2.3

Plutonium 238Pu94 has an α decay half life of 90 years (2.7 × 109 s). If each of the α particles is emitted with 5.5 MeV energy, then find the average power released (till 50% has decayed) if there are 238 gms of 238Pu (i.e. 6 × 1023 atoms)(in Watts)


Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 3

Solution= 

t1/2=2.7x109s

avg power=energy/time

=(No. of atoms decayed x 5.5MeV)/t1/2

=N0x5.5MeV/t1/2

=3x1023x5.5MeV/2.7x109

=(11.6x1023x10+16/109)x10-19

≈116W

The correct answer is 116W

Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 4

K.E, = 5.48 MeV
= 5.48 × 106 × 1.6 × 10-19 J


The correct answer is: 2

Calculate the typical K.E. expected of an α particle confined within a nucleus if its emitted energy is 10 MeV. (Answer in MeV)

Assume the nuclear potential to be square will of potential V = –10 MeV.

Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 5

If the nuclear potential is a square well
From conservation of energy


The correct answer is: 20

Given that the nucleus density varies with r

where ρ0 = 0.14 nucleon/fm3,  R = 1.07 A1/3 and  a = 0.54  fm.

Find the surface thickness i.e. the distance between which density drops from 0.9ρ0 to 0.1ρ0 (in fm upto two decimal places)

Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 6




Dividing (2) by (1)

Surface thickness = r2 – r1 = a × 4.39
r2 – r1 = 0.54 × 4.39
= 2.37 fm
The correct answer is: 2.37

The binding energy of a heavy nucleus is about 7 MeV/nucleon, whereas the B.E of a medium weight nucleus is about 8 MeV/nucleon. Therefore the total K.E liberated when a heavy nucleus undergoes symmetric fission is (in MeV).

Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 7

In case of symmetric fission the daughter nuclei have

Ad = A/2 each (daughter nuclei)
K.E. = diff. in B.E.

For a heavy nucleus A ~ 200
K.E. ~ 200 MeV
The correct answer is: 200

What should be the order of the energy of the electron beam which is to be used to explore the nuclear charge distribution (take the radius to be of the order of 10 fm) and also nucleon charge distribution (r = 0.8 fm)(in GeV)

Detailed Solution for Nuclear Physics NAT Level – 2 - Question 8

For energy of electron,
λ ~ radius of the nucleus
= 10 fm = 10–14 m

= 0.19 × 1010eV ~ 2 × 109eV
~2 GeV
The correct answer is: 2
