For a certain radioactive substance, it ...

For a certain radioactive substance, it is observed that after `4h`, only `6.25%` of the original sample is left undeacyed. It follows that.

A

the half life of the sample is `1` hour

B

the mean life to the sample is `1//ln 2` hour

C

the decay constant of the sample is `ln2 hour^(-1)`

D

after a further `4` hours, the amount of the substance left over would be only `0.39%` of the original amount

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

6.25% means, `N=(N_(0))/(16),` that means, `t=4T_(1//2)`
