A bacteria gives birth to two new bacterias in each second and the life span of each bacteria is 5 seconds. The process of the reproduction is continuous untill the death of the bacteria . Initially there is one newly born bacteria at time t=0 , then find the total number of live bacteria just after 10 seconds :

A

`3^(10)/2`

B

`3^5(3^5-1)`

C

If the bacteria in a culture increase continuously at a rate proportional to the number present and initial number is N, then the number present at time t is

The bacteria in a culture grows by 10% in the first hour, decreases by 10% in the second hour and again increases by 10% in the third hour. If the original count of the bacteria in a sample is 10000, find the bacteria count at the end of 3 hours.

The count of bacteria in a culture grows by 10% in the first hour, decreases by 8% in the second hour and again increases by 12% in the third hour. If the count of bacteria in the sample is 13125000, what will be the count of bacteria after 3 hours?

A single bacterium is actively growing in a medium that supports its growth to a number of 100 million. Assuming the division time of the bacterium as 3 hours and the life span of non-dividing bacteria as 5 hours, which ONE of the following represents the maximum number of bacteria that would be present at the end of 15 hour ?

A hydrogen-like gas is kept in a chamber having a slit of width d = 0.01 mm . The atom of the gas are continuously excited to a certain energy state . The excite electron make transition to lower levels , From the initial excite state to the second excited state and then from the second excited state ground state. In the process of deexcitation, photons are emitted and come out of the container through a slit. The intensity of the photons is observed on a screen placed parallel to the plane of the slit . The ratio of the angular width of the central maximum corresponding to the two transition is 25//2 . The angular width of the central maximum due to first transition is 6.4 xx 10^(-2) radian. Find the atomic number of the gas and the principal quantum number of the inital excited state.

The rate of increase in the number of bacteria in a certain bacteria culture is proportional to the number present. Given the number triples in 5 hrs., find how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours. Also find the time necessary for the number of bacteria to be 10 times the number of initial present. [Given log_e3=1. 0986 , e^(2. 1972)=9 ]
