Two redioactive nuclei A and B have disintegration constants `lamda_(A)andlamda_(B)` and initially `N_(A)andN_(B)` number of nuclei of them are taken, then the time after which their undisintegrated nuclei are same is

A

`(lamda_(A)lamda_(B))/((lamda_(A)-lamda_(B)))"In"((N_(B))/(N_(A)))`

B

`(1)/((lamda_(A)+lamda_(B)))"In"((N_(B))/(N_(A)))`

C

`(1)/((lamda_(A)-lamda_(B)))"In"((N_(B))/(N_(A)))`

D

`(1)/((lamda_(A)-lamda_(B)))"In"((N_(B))/(N_(A)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

We have, `N_(A)e^(-lamdaAt)=N_(B)e^(-lamdaBt)`
`thereforee^((lamda_(B)-lamda_(A))t)=(N_(B))/(N_(A))`
`thereforeTime,t=(1)/(lamda_(B)-lamda_(A))In((N_(B))/(N_(A)))`
