A radioactive sample has a half-life of \(10 \mathrm{~min}\). If 64 nuclei are contained in the sample the number of nuclei that would decay after, \(50 \mathrm{~min}\) is
- A 2
- B 5
- C 59
- D 62
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 62
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, \(t_{1 / 2}=10 \mathrm{~min}, N_{0}=64, t=50 \mathrm{~min}\) The number of half-lives in \(50 \mathrm{~min}\), \[ n=\frac{t}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{50}{10}=5 \] In 5 half-lives, number of nuclei left undecayed,…
