Given,
av = 15.5 MeV; as = 16.8 MeV; ac = 1.0 MeV; aasy = 23 MeV; and δ = 11 MeV
All questions are equally distributed marks and answer all.
1. Calculate the binding energy per particle/nucleon of 208Pb, and 209Pb using
Liquid-Drop-Model? And analyze the energy difference to satisfy the
experimental energy difference of 3.7 MeV.
2. Find the stable isobar for A = 103?
Hint: Application of Liquid-Drop-Model
3. Show the single-particle configuration, find the spin of the nucleus and
parity of proton and neutron.
(a) 40Ca and 48Ca
(b) 15N and 17N
(c) 14N and 16N Hint: Nordheim’s Rule
4. Calculate the energy require to perform the fusion reaction,
