Binding Energy per nucleon is constant. Which of the following best describes the cause of it? |
Nucleus is a dense mass consisting of nucleons. The forces are saturated to a given distance after which they fall to zero. The binding energy in nucleons is very large. The forces are zero upto a given distance after which they begin to rise. |
The forces are saturated to a given distance after which they fall to zero. |
The nuclear forces between two charges fall to zero as distance between then is few fermimeters(10-15 m). This leads to saturation of forces in a medium or large sized nucleus, whcih is the reason that the binding energy per nucleon is constant. |
