Will my Nikon 50mm 1:1.8 lens from my old film SLR work on my Nikon D3200 DSLR?

I am fairly new to photography, being that I just got a Nikon D3200 for Christmas.

My parents just found their old SLR camera from back in the day, a Nikon N5005. On this N5005 is a 50mm 1:1.8 lens on it.It says Nikon AF Nikkor & Made in Japan.It also has a thing that says Tiffen on it, but I think it is a UV filter.

I'm scared to mount this lens onto my D3200, being that it is a new camera and would not want to break it through my stupidity.

Can I use this lens on my D3200?
Would I need to buy an adapter ring?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but please help!
