The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the power produced at time \( t \) and the total energy produced up to time \( t \). ### Step 1: Understanding the problem We know that each decay produces an energy \( E_0 \). The decay process is characterized by a decay constant \( \lambda \), and the rate of formation of the nuclei is given by \( \alpha \). ### Step 2: Finding the power produced at time \( t \) The power produced at time \( t \) can be expressed as the product of the number of decays per second and the energy produced per decay. 1. The rate of decay at time \( t \) is given by: \[ R(t) = \alpha (1 - e^{-\lambda t}) \] where \( R(t) \) is the rate of formation of the nuclei. 2. The power \( P(t) \) produced at time \( t \) is given by: \[ P(t) = R(t) \cdot E_0 \] Substituting the expression for \( R(t) \): \[ P(t) = \alpha (1 - e^{-\lambda t}) E_0 \] ### Step 3: Finding the total energy produced up to time \( t \) To find the total energy produced up to time \( t \), we need to integrate the power over the time interval from \( 0 \) to \( t \). 1. The total energy \( E_{\text{total}} \) produced up to time \( t \) is given by: \[ E_{\text{total}} = \int_0^t P(t') dt' \] where \( P(t') = \alpha (1 - e^{-\lambda t'}) E_0 \). 2. Substituting for \( P(t') \): \[ E_{\text{total}} = \int_0^t \alpha (1 - e^{-\lambda t'}) E_0 dt' \] 3. Since \( \alpha \) and \( E_0 \) are constants, we can factor them out of the integral: \[ E_{\text{total}} = \alpha E_0 \int_0^t (1 - e^{-\lambda t'}) dt' \] 4. Now, we can evaluate the integral: \[ \int_0^t (1 - e^{-\lambda t'}) dt' = \left[ t' + \frac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda t'} \right]_0^t \] Evaluating this from \( 0 \) to \( t \): \[ = \left( t + \frac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda t} \right) - \left( 0 + \frac{1}{\lambda} \cdot 1 \right) \] \[ = t + \frac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda t} - \frac{1}{\lambda} \] \[ = t + \frac{1}{\lambda} (e^{-\lambda t} - 1) \] 5. Thus, the total energy produced up to time \( t \) is: \[ E_{\text{total}} = \alpha E_0 \left( t + \frac{1}{\lambda} (e^{-\lambda t} - 1) \right) \] ### Final Results - **Power produced at time \( t \)**: \[ P(t) = \alpha (1 - e^{-\lambda t}) E_0 \] - **Total energy produced up to time \( t \)**: \[ E_{\text{total}} = \alpha E_0 \left( t + \frac{1}{\lambda} (e^{-\lambda t} - 1) \right) \]
