The masses of two radioactive substances are same and their half-lives are 1 year and 2 years, respectively. The ratio of their activities after 6 years will be

  1. A \(1: 4\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(\mathbf{l}: 3\)
  4. D \(1: 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let initial masses of two radioactive substances be \(N_{0}\). If \(T_{1}\) and \(T_{2}\) be the half-lives of two radioactive substances, Then, \(\quad T_{1}=1\) yr Hence, remaining mass of the first substances after…
