The half-lives of two radioactive specimens are \(T_1=5\) years and \(T_2=7.5\) years.
The ratio of their disintegration constants \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  3. C 1: 1
  4. D 0.693
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \lambda = \frac{\ln(2)}{T} \) \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \) \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{7.5}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \)
