The average life `T` and the decay constant `lamda` of a radioactive nucleus are related as

A

`T lamda = 1`

B

`T =(0.693)/(lamda)`

C

`(T)/(lamda) = 1`

D

`T = ( c)/(lamda)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) Average life
`T = ("Sum of all lives of all the atom")/("Total number of atoms") = (1)/(lamda)`
`rArr T lambda = 1`.
