A radioactive sample has N0 active at t ...

A radioactive sample has `N_0` active at `t = 0` . If the rate of disintegration at any time is `R` and the number of atoms is `N`, them the ratio `R//N` varies with time as.

A

.

B

.

C

.

D

.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Rate `R = - (dN)/(dt) = lamda N_0 e^(-lamda t) = lamda N`
`rArr ( R)/(N) = lamda (constant)`
i.e., graph beween `( R)/(N)` and `t`, be a straight line parallel to the time axis.
