A certain radioactive material can undergo three constant `lambda,2lambda` and `3 lambda`. Then, the effective decay constant `lambda_(eff)` is equal to `n lambda`. What is the value of n?

Which is ture about decay constant (lambda) ?

The decay constant lambda of a radioactive sample:

A radioactive nuclide can decay simultaneously by two different processes which have decay constant lambda_(1) and lambda_(2) . The effective decay constant of the nucleide is lambda

A radioactive nuclide can decay simultaneously by two different processes which have decay constants lambda_(1) and lambda_(2) . The effective decay constant of the nuclides is lambda .

Disintegration constant of a radioactive material is lambda :

Disintegration constant of a radioactive material is lambda :

Disintegration constant of a radioactive material is lambda :

Radioactive material 'A' has decay constant 8lambda and material 'B' has decay constant 'lambda' . Intially they have same number of nuclei . After what time the ratio of number 'B' to that 'A' will be 1/e .
