Activities of three radioactive substances \(A , B\) and \(C\) are represented by the curves \(A, B\) and \(C,\) in the figure. Then their half-lives \(T _{\frac{1}{2}}( A ): T _{\frac{1}{2}}( B ): T _{\frac{1}{2}}( C )\) are in the ratio

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2: 1: 3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(R = R _{0} e ^{-\lambda t}\)
ln \(R =\ln R _{0}-\lambda t\)
\(\lambda_{ A }=\frac{6}{10} \Rightarrow T _{ A }=\frac{10}{6}\) ln \(2\)
\(\lambda_{ B }=\frac{6}{5} \Rightarrow T _{ B }=\frac{5 \ln 2}{6}\)
\(\lambda_{ C }=\frac{2}{5} \Rightarrow T _{ C }=\frac{5 \ln 2}{2}\)
\(\frac{10}{6}: \frac{5}{6}: \frac{15}{6}:: 2: 1: 3\)
