Answer:
Correct Answer: 12. (a)
Solution:
- (a) The nuclear radius $R=R_0 A^{1 / 3}$
or $R \propto A^{1 / 3}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text{ or, } R^{3} \propto A \Rightarrow A \propto R^{3} \\ & \therefore \frac{A_2}{A_1}=(\frac{R_2}{R_1})^{3}=(\frac{R_1 / 2}{R_1})^{3}=\frac{1}{8} \\ & A_2=\frac{A_1}{8}=\frac{56}{8}=7 \end{aligned} $
