An unstable element is produced in nuclear reaction at a constant rate `R`. Its disintergration constant is `lambda`. Find number of nuclei after time `'t'` if initialy it was Zero

A

`(R )/(lambda)e^(-lambda t)`

B

`(R )/(lambda)(1-e^(-lambdat))`

C

`(R )/(lambda)(1+e^(lambdat))`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(dN)/(dt)= R-lambda N rArr (dN)/(R-lambda N)=dt`, solving this equation with nuclei conditions, we get the desired answer
