A radioactive nucleus A with a half-life T, decays into a nucleus B. At t=0, there is no nucleus B. At sometime t, the ratio of the number of B to that of A is 0.3. Then, t is given by - (A) t=T/2 (log2)/(log1.3) (B) t=T (log1.3)/(log 2) (C) t=T log (1.3) (D) t=T/(log (1.3))

The initial number of radioactive atoms in a radioactive sample is N_0 . If after time t the number of becomes N, then N=N_0e^(-lambdat) , where lambda is known as the decay constant of the element. The time in which the number of radioactive atoms becomes half of its initial number is called the half-life (T) of the element. The time in which the number of atoms falls to 1/e times of its initial number is the mean life (tau) of the element. The product lambdaN is the activity (A) of the radioactive sample when the number of atoms is N. The SI unit of activity is bequerel (Bq)' where 1 Bq = 1 decay. s^(-1) , The half-life of Iodine-131 is 8d. Its decay constant (in SI) is - (A) 10^(-6) (B) 1.45xx10^(-6) (C) 2xx10^(-6) (D) 2.9xx10^(-6)
