The correct Answer is:
To find the number of disintegrated atoms between time \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \), we start with the given equation for the number of active radioactive atoms at time \( t \): \[ N(t) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t} \] where: - \( N(t) \) is the number of active atoms at time \( t \), - \( N_0 \) is the initial number of atoms, - \( \lambda \) is the decay constant. ### Step 1: Calculate the number of active atoms at \( t_2 \) Using the formula, the number of active atoms at time \( t_2 \) is: \[ N(t_2) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t_2} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of active atoms at \( t_1 \) Similarly, the number of active atoms at time \( t_1 \) is: \[ N(t_1) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t_1} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the number of disintegrated atoms at \( t_2 \) The number of disintegrated atoms at time \( t_2 \) is the initial number of atoms minus the number of active atoms at \( t_2 \): \[ \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_2 = N_0 - N(t_2) = N_0 - N_0 e^{-\lambda t_2} \] This simplifies to: \[ \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_2 = N_0 (1 - e^{-\lambda t_2}) \] ### Step 4: Calculate the number of disintegrated atoms at \( t_1 \) Similarly, the number of disintegrated atoms at time \( t_1 \) is: \[ \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_1 = N_0 - N(t_1) = N_0 - N_0 e^{-\lambda t_1} \] This simplifies to: \[ \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_1 = N_0 (1 - e^{-\lambda t_1}) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the number of disintegrated atoms between \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \) To find the number of disintegrated atoms between \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \), we subtract the number of disintegrated atoms at \( t_1 \) from the number at \( t_2 \): \[ \text{Disintegrated atoms between } t_1 \text{ and } t_2 = \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_2 - \text{Disintegrated atoms at } t_1 \] Substituting the expressions we found: \[ = N_0 (1 - e^{-\lambda t_2}) - N_0 (1 - e^{-\lambda t_1}) \] This simplifies to: \[ = N_0 e^{-\lambda t_1} - N_0 e^{-\lambda t_2} \] Factoring out \( N_0 \): \[ = N_0 (e^{-\lambda t_1} - e^{-\lambda t_2}) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the number of disintegrated atoms between \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \) is: \[ N_0 (e^{-\lambda t_1} - e^{-\lambda t_2}) \]

To find the number of disintegrated atoms between time \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \), we start with the given equation for the number of active radioactive atoms at time \( t \): \[ N(t) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t} \] where: - \( N(t) \) is the number of active atoms at time \( t \), ...
