A fraction f(1) of a radioactive sample ...

A fraction `f_(1)` of a radioactive sample decays in one mean lie and a fraction `f_(2)` decays in one half-life

A

`f_(1)gtf_(2)`

B

`f_(1)ltf_(2)`

C

`f_(1) =f_(2)`

D

may be `(1),(2)` or `(3)`, depending on the values of the mean life and half-life

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Mean life `bar(T) = 1.44T_(1//2)` (half life)
`f_(1)gt f_(2)`
