The half life period of radio active iso...

The half life period of radio active isotope is 5 minutes. The fraction of isotope, that will be remaining after 30 minutes is

A

`1//16`

B

`1//36`

C

`1//64`

D

`1//32`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here `n=t/T=30/5 =6`
Now `N/N_(0) =(1/2)^(n)`
`=(1/2)^(6)`
`=1/64`
