A freshly prepared radioactive source of half life \(2\) hours \(30\) minutes emits radiation which is \(64\) times the permissible safe level. The minimum time, after which it would be possible to work safely with source, will be hours.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(15\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(A = A _{0} \times 2^{- t / T }\)
\(\frac{ A _{0}}{64}= A _{0} \times 2^{- t / T }\)
\(\therefore t =6\,T =6 \times 2.5=15\,hours\)

- Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Consider a ferromagnetic material :
Assertion (A) : The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a magnetic dipole moment and interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves forming domains.
Reason (R) : At high enough temperature, the domain structure of ferromagnetic material disintegrates. Thus, magnetization will disappear at high enough temperature known as Curie temperature.
