Assertion Two different radioactive substances have initially same number of nuclei. Their decay constants are `lamda_(1)and lamda_(2)(ltlamda_(1)).` Then, initially first radioactiv substance decays at faster rate.
Reason Half-life of first radioactive substance is less.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(a) `t_(1//2) =(0.693)/(lamda ) implies _(1//2) prop 1//lamda implies lamda prop(1)/(T_(1//2))`
