Questions Related to nuclear force and binding energy

Two protons are kept at a separation of $10$nm. Let $F _{n}$ be the nuclear force and $F _{e}$ be electromagnetic force between them. Then,

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. $F _{e}= F _{n}$

  2. $F _{e}>> F _{n}$

  3. $F _{e}<< F _{n}$

  4. $F _{n}= F _{e}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At separation greater than fermi, nuclear force is negligible. So, electromagnetic force is much powerful than nuclear force.
So, correct chioce is option B.

Attractive Force exists between two protons inside the Nucleus. This is due to :

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. Gravitational Forces

  2. Electro magnetic Forces

  3. Weak Nuclear Forces

  4. Strong Nuclear Forces

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The forces that bind fermions (electron, proton, neutron) together are termed as weak forces. Whereas the forces that bind the constituents of a nucleus are strong nuclear force.

Repulsive forces exists between two protons outside the nucleus. This is due to

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. Gravitiaonal Forces

  2. Electro magnetic Forces

  3. Weak Nuclear Forces

  4. Strong Nuclear Forces

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electromagnetic force.

This force is described by electromagnetic fields, and has innumerable physical instances including the interaction of electrically charged particles and the interaction of uncharged magnetic force fields with electrical conductors.

The kind(s) of force that is/are present between two protons in a nucleus is/are _______.

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. Electrostatic force

  2. Nuclear force

  3. Magnetic force

  4. Both (A) and (B)

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Two protons are subject to two forces;- the nuclear force and the electrostatic force. When they are very close together the nuclear force is dominant, and when they are far apart electrostatic force is dominant
Hence two kinds of forces present between two protons in a nucleus.
However magnitude of Nuclear force is much more than Electrostatic force

A free hydrogen atom in ground state is at rest. A neutron of kinetic energy K collides with the hydrogen atom. After collision hydrogen atom emits two photons in succession one of which has energy $2.55eV$. Assume that the hydrogen atom and neutron has same mas.

  1. Minimum value of K is $25.5eV$

  2. Minimum value of K is $12.75eV$

  3. The other photon has energy $10.2eV$

  4. Th upper energy level is of excitation energy $12.5eV$

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Which  of the following statement is incorrect for nuclear forces ?

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. These are strongest in magnitude

  2. They are charge dependent

  3. They are effective only for short ranges

  4. They result for interaction of every nucleon with the nearest limited number of nucleons

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As we know that nucleus force is a strong force , they are strongest in magnitude. They are short range because the distance between the nucleon $0.7$ fermi which is very small.
They are charged independent. They result for interaction of every nucleon with the nearest limited number of nucleons.

The bin ding energy of deuteron $ (^2 _1H) $ is 1.15 MeV per nucleon and an alpha particle $ ( ^4 _2He ) $ has binding energy of 7.1 MeV per nucleon . then in the reaction $^2 _1H + ^2 _1H \rightarrow ^4 _2He + Q $ the energy Q is

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. 33.0 MeV

  2. 28.4 MeV

  3. 23.8 MeV

  4. 4.6 MeV

Show answer
Correct Option: C

A neutron exerts a force on a proton which is

physics nuclei nuclear force the nuclear force nuclear force and binding energy

  1. gravitational

  2. electromagnetic

  3. nuclear

  4. weak

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Nuclear force
The nuclear force (or nucleon interaction or residual strong force) is the force of protons and neutrons, subatomic particles that are collectively called nucleons. The nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei. Neutrons and protons are affected by the nuclear force almost identically. Since protons have charge +1 e, they experience a Coulomb repulsion that tends to push them apart, but at short range, the nuclear force is sufficiently attractive as to overcome the electromagnetic repulsive force. The mass of a nucleus is less than the sum total of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons which form it.
Gravitational force
This force acts b.w two particles having non zero mass
Electromagnetic force
Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force which is a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. 

Since neutron is uncharged, the electromagnetic force is zero.
