Let Rt represent activity of a sample at...

Let `R_t` represent activity of a sample at a sample at an instant and `N_t` represent number of active nuclei in the sample of the instant `T_(1//2)` represents the half life

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(A) p,r (B) r (C) s
(A) In half life active sample reduce `=R_(0)/2`
`:.` Decay number of nuclei is `=R_(0)/2`
(B) `N=N_(0)e^(-lambdat)`
where `lambda=` decay constant, `lambda=(ln(2))/t_(1//2)`
`N=N_(0)e^(-(ln2t_(1//2))/(t_(1//2)ln2))implies N=N_(0)/e`
`N_(0)-N=N_(0) [(e-1)/e]implies (N-N_(0))/N_(0) =(1-e)/e`
(C) `N=N_(0)/((2)^(t//T_(1//2)))implies N=N_(0)/2^(3//2)implies N_(0)/(2sqrt(2))`
