True or False Statements :
90% of a radioactive sample is left undecayed after time t has elapsed, percentage of the initial sample which will decay in a total time 2t is 19%.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
[T]


In equal time, equal % decay `((100-81))/(100) xx 100=19%`
