True or False Statements : A fractio...

True or False Statements :
A fraction `f_(1)` of a radioactive sample decays in one mean life, and a fraction `f_(2)` decays in one half-life, then `f_(1) gt f_(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
[T]

`(c_(t))/(c_(0))=e^(-lambdax(1)/(lambda))=((1)/(e))=f_(1)=0.36` (left ) then decay `0.633(f_(1))`
`(c_(1))/(c_(0))=e^(-lambdax(ln2)/(lambda))=2^(-1)=((1)/(2))=f_(2)=0.5` (left)decay `0.5(f_(2)`
`f_(1) gt f_(2)`
