We are familiar with forces, such as the force of gravity and the electromagnetic force, which are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the objects which are interacting by means of that force, however, not all forces are like that. The strong nuclear force is much more dependent upon distance. It is inversely proportion to the sixth power of the distance, not the square. So it goes in a very short distance from being a tremendously strong force, to a completely negligible force.

Explain Nuclear forces and their properties-meson theory?

Nuclear forces are the strong forces that hold protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus. They are mediated by particles called mesons, which are exchanged between nucleons to produce this attractive force. Meson theory describes the exchange of mesons between nucleons and helps explain the short-ranged nature of nuclear forces and the stability of atomic nuclei.


Serber potential in nuclear physics?

Serber potentia is A potential between nucleons, equal to ½(1 + M)V(r), where V(r) is a function of the distance between the nucleons, and M is an operator which exchanges the spatial coordinates of the particles but not their spins (corresponding to the Majorana force).


What is tensor force?

The tensor force is a component of the nuclear force that acts between nucleons (protons and neutrons) within an atomic nucleus. It is a type of residual strong force that arises from the exchange of virtual pions between nucleons and contributes to the overall binding energy of the nucleus. The tensor force helps to explain certain properties of nuclear structure and interactions.


What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?

Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.

How strong is nuclear force?

The force between two nucleons depends on the distance. According to the Wikipedia article, the maximum attractive force, at a distance of about 1 fm (femtometer), is in the order of 25,000 newton. This force is equivalent to the weight of a 2.5-tonne mass.
