The activity of a radioactive substance ...

The activity of a radioactive substance is `R_(1)` at time `t_(1)` and `R_(2)` at time `t_(2)(gt t_(1))`. Its decay cosntant is `lambda`. Then .

A

`R_(1)t_(1) = R_(2)t_(2)`

B

`R_(2) = R_(1) e^(lambda(t_(2) - t_(1)))`

C

`R_(2) = R_(1) e^(lambda(t_(1) - t_(2))`

D

`(R_(1) - R_(2))/(t_(2) - t_(1))`= constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`(R_(2))/(R_(1)) = (R_(0) e^(-lambda t_(2)))/(R_(0) e^(-lambda t_(1))), R_(2) = R_(1) e^(lambda(t_(1) - t_(2)))`
