1.	If the size of a nucleus (in the range of 10^(-15)m"to"10^(-14)m) is scaled up to the tip ofa sharp pin , what roughly is the size of an atom ? Assume tip of the pin to be in the range 10^(-5) "to" 10^(-4)m.
Answer» Solution :The size of a nucleus is in the range of `10^(-15)m "to" 10^(-14)m`. The tip of a sharp pin I s TAKEN to be in the range of `10^(-15)m "to" 10^(-4)m.` Thus W are scaling up by a factor of `10^(-10)m`. An atom roughly of size `10^(-10)m` will be scaled up to a size of 1m .thus a nucleus in an atom is as small in size as the tip of a sharp pin placed at the centre of a sphere of radius about a metre LONG.
