At time `t=0` , number of nuclei of a radioactive substance are `100.` At `t=1` s these numbers become `90`. Find the number of nuclei at `t=2 s`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In 1 second 90% of the nuclei have remained undecayed, so in another 1 second 90% of 90 i.e., 81 nuclei will remain undecayed.
