The decay constant of a radioactive samp...

The decay constant of a radioactive sample is `'lambda'`. The half-life and mean life of the sample are respectively a)`1/lamda,("in"2)/lamda` b)`("in"2)/lamda,1/lamda` c)`"in"2,1/lamda` d)`lamda/("in"2),1/lamda`

A

`1/(lamda)` and d`(log_(e)2)/(lamda)`

B

`(log_(e)2)/(lamda)` and `1/(lamda)`

C

`(lamda)/(log_(e)2)` and `1/(lamda)`

D

`(lamda)/(log_(e)2)` and `2lamda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If decay constant is `lamda`
Mean life `tau=1/(lamda)`
and half life
`=(log_(e)2)/(lamda)`
