A radioactive source (Phosphorus-32) has an initial activity 10 \(\mu\)Ci, its half life is 14 days. What time elapses before the activity falls to 1.25 \(\mu\)Ci ?
- A 42 days
- B 28 days
- C 56 days
- D 14 days
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 42 days
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(A = A_0 (1/2)^n\) \(1.25 \mu Ci = 10 \mu Ci (1/2)^n\) \(1.25/10 = (1/2)^n\) \(0.125 = (1/2)^n\) \((1/2)^3 = (1/2)^n \Rightarrow n = 3\) \(t = n \times T_{1/2}\) \(t = 3 \times 14 \text{ days}\) \(t = 42 \text{ days}\)

In our body, cell growth and differentiation is highly controlled and regulated. In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells. These cells actively divide and starve the normal cells by competing for vital nutrients. Cells sloughed from such tumors reach distant sites through blood, and wherever they get lodged in the body, they start a new tumor there. This property is called metastasis. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents called carcinogens.
