From the relation R = R0A1/3, where R0 is a constant and A is the mass number of a nucleus, show that the nuclear matter density is nearly constant (i.e. independent of A).


The radius od a nucleus is given as R = R0A1/3 (A = mass number)

And, the density is given by =


Let m be average mass of the atom, hence Mass = mA


And volume =


Hence,
