Consider the situation of the previous problem.suppose the production of the radioactive isotope starts at t=0. Find the number of active nuclei at time t.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D

Let `N_(0)` = No. of Radioctive particle
present at time `t = 0 `
` N = No. of radio-active particle
present at time , t
Then `N = n_(0) e^(-lambda t) `
`:. The number of particlees decay
` = N _(0) - N = N_(0) - N_(0) e^(-lambda t) `
` = N _(0) (1- e ^(- lambda t) `
We know
A _(0) = lambda N_(0) , R = lambda N _(0) `
` N_(0) = (R)/( lambda) `
From the above equation
` N = N_(0) (1 - e ^(-lambda t) `
` = (R)/( lambda) (1 - e ^(- lambda t) `
( Sobstitutling the value of `N_(0)` )

The rate at which a particular decay process occurs in a radio active sample, is proportional to the number of radio active nuclei present. If N is the number of radio active nuclei present at some instant, the rate of change of N is (dN)/(dt) = - lambdaN . Consider radioavtive decay of A to B which may further decay, either to X or to Y, lambda_(1),lambda_(2) and lambda_(3) are decay constants for A to B decay, B to X decay and B of Y decay respectively. If at t = 0 number of nuclei of A, B, X and Y are N_(0), N_(0) , zero and zero respectively and N_(1),N_(2),N_(3),N_(4) are number of nuclei A,B,X and Y at any intant. At t = oo , which of the following is incorrect ?

(a), (b), (c), (d)

To determine the half life of a radioactive element , a student plote a graph of in |(dN(t))/(dt)| versus t , Here |(dN(t))/(dt)| is the rate of radioatuion decay at time t , if the number of radoactive nuclei of this element decreases by a factor of p after 4.16 year the value of p is

6 balls marked as 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are kept in a box. Two players A and B start to take out 1 ball at a time from the box one after another without replacing the ball till the game is over. The number marked on the ball is added each time to the previous sum to get the sum of numbers marked on the balls taken out. If this sum is even, then 1 point is given to the players. the first player to get 2 points is declared winner. at the start of the game, the sum is 0. if A starts to take out the ball, find the number of ways in which the game can be won.

Consider a hypothetical situation where we are comparing the properties of two crystals made of atom A and atom B . Potential energy (U) v//s interatomic separation (r) graph for atom A and atom B is shown in figure (i) and (ii) and respectively.
