For a certain radioactive process the graph between \(In\, {R}\) and \({t}\,({sec})\) is obtained as shown in the figure. Then the value of half life for the unknown radioactive material is approximately \(....\,{sec}.\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.62\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({R}=R_{o} e^{-\lambda t}\)

\(\ell n R=\ell n R_{o}-\lambda t\)

\(-\lambda\) is slope of straight line

\(\lambda=\frac{3}{20}\)

\(t_{1 / 2}=\frac{\ell n 2}{\lambda}=4.62\)
