violates the conservation of
(a) Angular momentum (b) Electric charge

n are 1, 1 and 1 respectively, the spin wavefunction of the final state neutrons is
(a) Linear combination of a singlet and a triplet

Q3. The strong nuclear force between a neutron and a proton in a zero orbital angular
momentum state is denoted by Fnp  r  , where r is the separation between them.

respectively, in zero orbital momentum state. Which of the following is true on average if

4. Nuclear Forces and Deutron Problem (Solution)


Ans. 1: (d)
Solution: 1 D 2  1 D 2  2 He 4   0 (Not conserved)
I: 0 0  0 1
This isopin is not conserved in above reaction.
Ans. 2: (b)
Solution: Parity must conserve intersections
 d nn
The parity of the initial state is
1
 1 P Pd   1  1 1  1

The parity of the final state is

 1 Pn Pn   1  1 1   1  1


l l l
l  0, 2,....

because the nucleons are identical fermions, the allowed states of two nucleons are 1 S0 , 3 P0,1,2

corresponding to l  0 and l  1 . Thus only l  0 (singlet) is allowed.


Ans. 3: (b)
Solution: Inside the nucleus the interaction between neutron neutron and newtran-proton is
always attractive due to nuclear force whereas between proton-proton it is repulusive due to
coulombic interaction:
Thus Fnn and Fnp are always attractive and Fpp is repulsive
