The `t_(0.5)` of a radioactive element is related to its average life by the expression

A

`1.44//t_(0.5)`

B

`0.693 t_(0.5)`

C

`t_(0.5)//1.44`

D

`1.44t_(0.5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Average life `=(1)/(lambda("decay constant"))`
`=(1)/(0.693//t_(0.5))=1.44 t_(0.5)`

Half-life of radioactive element depend upon

Half-life period for radioactive element is

Radioactive disintergation always follow I order kinetics and is independent of all external factors and is represented by the relation N = N_(0) e^(-lambda t) where lambda is decay constant and N atoms are left at time t . The radioactive nature of element is expressed in terms of average life numerically equal to decay constant (1//lambda) however all the radioactive do not lose their radioactive nature in thier average life. The radioactive emission involves alpha, beta particles as well as gamma- rays.The penertrating power order is alpha lt beta lt gamma . The emissions can perntrate even thick steel walls but are however unable to penttrate Pb blocks. The S unit fo rate of decay is dps . The percentage of atoms decayed in average life of a radioactive element is:
