A radioactive sample at any instant has its disintegration rate `5000` disintegrations per minute After `5` minutes , the rate is `1250` disintegration per minute. Then , the decay constant (per minute)

A

0.8 ln 2

B

0.4 ln 2

C

0.2 ln 2

D

0.1 ln 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lambda=("log"_e A_1/A_2)/t =("log"_(e) "5000"/"1250")/5` =0.4 In 2
