(a)Plot a graph depicting potential energy of a pair of nucleons in a nucleus as a function of their separation.(b)Identify the regions where the nuclear force is (i) attractive, and(ii)repulsive. Justify your answer.
(a)
Plot a graph depicting potential energy of a pair of nucleons in a nucleus as a function of their separation.
(b)
Identify the regions where the nuclear force is (i) attractive, and
(ii)
repulsive. Justify your answer.
Marking-scheme solution
(b)
$\displaystyle F=-\frac{d U}{d x}$
(i)
For distance larger than $\displaystyle r_{0}$, force is attractive.
Since the slope of the curve is positive.
(ii)
For distance less than $\displaystyle r_{0}$, force is repulsive.
Since the slope of the curve is negative.
