A radioactive isotope is being produced ...

A radioactive isotope is being produced at a constant rate X Half-life of the radioactive substance is Y After some time the number of radiactive nuclie become constant The value of this constant is

A

`(XY)/(ln(2))`

B

`XY`

C

`(XY)ln(2)`

D

`(X)/(Y)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Number of radio nulei become constant, when rate of production becoms equal to rate of decay.
`X=lambda N`
or `N=(X)/(lambda)` Given, `y = In(2)/(lambda)`
`rArr N=(XY)/(1n(2))`.
