The graph represents the decay of a newly-prepared sample of radioactive nuclide X to a stable nuclide Y. The half-life of X is t. The growth curve for Y intersects the decay curve for X after time T. What is the time T ?

A

t/2

B

ln(t/2)

C

t

D

ln(2t)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
