Chapter 40, Problem 40.75

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure 40.17 showed that a typical nuclear radius is 4.0 fm. As youll learn in Chapter 42, a typical energy of a neutron bound inside the nuclear potential well is En = -20 MeV. To find out how fuzzy the edge of the nucleus is, what is the neutrons penetration distance into the classically forbidden region as a fraction of the nuclear radius?
