Explanation

(a) ${}_{Z}^{A}X \to {}_{Z - 2}^{A - 4}Y + {}_{2}^{4}{He} \to {}_{Z - 3}^{A - 4}Z + {}_{1}^{0}B$

The activity of a radioactive sample is 1.6 curie and its half-life is 2.5 days. Its activity after 10 days will be

0.8 curie

Explanation

$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{A_{0}} = \frac{N}{N_{0}} = {(\frac{1}{2})}^{n} \Rightarrow A = 1.6 \times {(\frac{1}{2})}^{4} = 0.1 curie$

In a mean life of a radioactive sample

About 1/3 of substance disintegrates

About 2/3 of the substance disintegrates

About 90% of the substance disintegrates

Almost all the substance disintegrates

Explanation

(b) By using $N = N_{0} e^{- λt}$ and $t = τ = \frac{1}{λ}$
Substance remains = $N = \frac{N_{0}}{e} = 0.37 N_{0} ≃ \frac{N_{0}}{3}$
$∴$ Substance disintegrated = $N_{0} - \frac{N_{0}}{3} = \frac{2 N_{0}}{3}$

Three fourth of the active decays in a radioactive sample in 3/4 sec. The half life of the sample is

$\frac{1}{2}$ sec

1 sec

$\frac{3}{8}$ sec

$\frac{3}{4}$ sec

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.

Explanation

$t = 2 (T_{1 / 2}) \Rightarrow \frac{3}{4} = 2 (T_{1 / 2}) \Rightarrow T_{1 / 2} = \frac{3}{8} \sec$

During mean life of a radioactive element, the fraction that disintegrates is

$\frac{1}{e}$

$\frac{e - 1}{e}$

$\frac{e}{e - 1}$

Explanation

(c) By using $N = N_{0} e^{- λt}$ and average life time $t = \frac{1}{λ}$
So $N = N_{0} e^{- λ \times 1 / λ} = N_{0} e^{- 1} \Rightarrow \frac{N}{N_{0}} = e^{- 1} = \frac{1}{e}$
Now disintegrated fraction = $1 - \frac{N}{N_{0}} = 1 - \frac{1}{e} = \frac{e - 1}{e}$
