Answer 1

Answer:

I am learning high school modern physics. I came across a formula that is Radius of nucleus is directly proportional to cube root of atomic mass. However upon searching some of books( which I could actually afford to read at high school level) I could not found a satisfactory derivation for this result. Is this an experimental result or there is a possible derivation to this. Ur answer would be of great help
