A sample of radioactive material \(A\), that has an activity of \(10\, mCi\, (1\, Ci = 3.7 \times 10^{10}\, decays/s)\), has twice the number of nuclei as another sample of different radioactive material \(B\) which has an activity of \(20\, mCi\). The correct choices for half-lives of \(A\) and \(B\) would then be respectively
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(10\) days and \(40\) days
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Activity \(=\lambda\) (number of atoms)
\(10=\lambda_{A} N_{A}\) ..... \((1)\)
\(20=\lambda_{B} N_{B}\) ..... \((2)\)
\(N_{A}=2 N_{B}\) ..... \((3)\)
Solving we get, \(\frac{\lambda_{A}}{\lambda_{B}}=\frac{1}{4}\)
