In problem` 43`, number of atoms decayed between time interval `t_(1)` and `t_(2)` are

A

`(ln(2))/(lambda) (R_(1) R_(2))`

B

`R_(1) e^(-lambda t_(2)) -R_(2) e^(-lambda t_(2))`

C

`lambda(R_(1)-R_(2))`

D

`(R_(1)-R_(2))/(lambda))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`R_(1) =lambdaN_(1) rArr N_(1) =(R_(1))/(lambda)`
and `R_(2) =lambdaN_(2)rArr N_(2) =(R_(2))/(lambda)`
Therefore, number of atoms decayed `=N_(1)-N_(2) =((R_(1)-R_(2))/(lambda))`.
