The activity of a sample of radioactive...

The activity of a sample of radioactive material is `A_1 ` at time `t_1 and A_2` at time `t_2(t_2 gt t_1)`. It mean life is T .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`A_(1)=A_(@)e^(-lamdat_(1)) and A_(2)=A_(@)^(-lamdat_(2))impliesA_(1)/A_(2)=e^(lamda(t_(2)-t_(1)))`
or `lamda(t_(2)-t_(1))=ln|(A_1)/A_2|` (or)
`tau=1/lamda=(t_2-t_1)/(ln|(A_1)/A_2|)`
