JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

Half lives of two radioactive nuclei \(A\) and \(B\) are \(10\, minutes\) and \(20\, minutes\), respectively. If, initially a sample has equal number of nuclei, then after \(60\) \(minutes\) , the ratio of decayed numbers of nuclei \(A\) and \(B\) will be

  1. A \(9 : 8\)
  2. B \(1 : 8\)
  3. C \(8 : 1\)
  4. D \(3 : 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9 : 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({{\text{N}}_{\text{A}}} = {{\text{N}}_{{\text{OA}}}}{{\text{e}}^{ - \lambda {\text{t}}}} = \frac{{{{\text{N}}_{{\text{OA}}}}}}{{{2^{t/{t_{1/2}}}}}} = \frac{{{{\text{N}}_{{\text{OA}}}}}}{{{2^6}}}\) \(\therefore\) Number of nuclei decayed…
