A radioactive element \(A\) converts into another stable element \(B\), half-life of \(A\) is \(1.5 \mathrm{hrs}\). After time \(t\) the ratio of atoms of \(A\) and \(B\) is found to be \(1: 8\), then \(t\) in hours is

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C Between 3 to 4.5
  4. D Between 4.5 to 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Between 4.5 to 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of atoms of \(A\) and \(B\) are as shown For \(\mathrm{A} \rightarrow\) \(N_0 \xrightarrow{T} \frac{N_0}{2} \xrightarrow{T} \frac{N_0}{4} \xrightarrow{T} \frac{N_0}{8} \stackrel{T}{\longrightarrow} \frac{N_0}{16} \ldots \ldots .\). for \(B \rightarrow\)…
