NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing a nuclear force interaction with a potential energy curve displaying a steep repulsive part at short distances and a shallow attractive part at slightly larger distances. Which characteristic of nuclear forces does this diagram best illustrate?
A
Nuclear forces have a short-range attractive component.
B
Nuclear forces are identical to gravitational forces.
C
Nuclear forces are long-range like electromagnetic forces.
D
Nuclear forces are weaker than electrostatic forces.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The diagram reflects the short-range nature of nuclear forces, where they are attractive at closer distances, but become repulsive at very short distances, consistent with the NCERT context provided.
