In class I derived the ordinary nuclear density to be about 0.138 u/fm3. A neutron star is a collapsed star that contains neutrons in a highly compactified state, so its average density is higher. Assume a neutron star is spherical and has an average density which is about twice the ordinary nuclear density. If it is 50% heavier than the Sun, what would be its radius? (Given: mass of sun = 2*1030 kg, 1 u = 1.66*10-27 kg.) A) 14.6 km B) 11.6 km C) 10.1 km D) none of these.
ts) We can approximate the 232Th nucleus as a one-dimensional infinite square well with length L equal to the nuclear radius R = R₁A¹/3, where Ro = 1.2 fm and A is the atomic mass number. (a) What is the length of this infinite square well? What is the ground state energy of a proton (which has mass m₂ = 938.3 MeV/c²) in this infinite square well? (b) 232Th has 90 protons and 142 neutrons. Assume that all these protons and neutrons trapped in the infinite square well. How many energy levels of this infinite square well contain protons? How many energy levels contain neutrons?
