The following table shows some measurements of the decay rate of a radionuclide sample. Find the disintegration constant.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`R-RO E^(-lambdat)`
In R `=ln Ro-lambdat`
ln `R=-lambdat+ln Ro`
slope of ln R v/s. t is `-lambda`
`-lambda=(0-1.52)/(210-254)`
`-lambda =0.038"min ute"^(-1)`

The decay constant of a radioactive sample

The decay constant lambda of a radioactive sample:

At t= 0 ,a sample of radionuclide A has the same decay rate as a sample of radionuclide B has at t = 60 min. The disintegration constants of A and B are lambda_(A) and lambda_(B) respectively, with lambda_(A) lt lambda_(B) .

At t=0, a sample of radionuclide A has the same decay rate as a sample of radionuclide B has at t=30min. The disintegration constants are lambda_(A) and lambda_(B) , with lambda_(A)ltlambda_(B) . Will the two samples ever have (simultaneously) the same decay rate?
