Some nuclei of a radioactive material are undergoing radioactive decay. The time gap between the instances when a quarter of the nuclei have decayed and when half of the nuclei have decayed is given as: (where \(\lambda\) is the decay constant)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{\ln \frac{3}{2}}{\lambda}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{3 N _{0}}{4}= N _{0} e ^{-\lambda t _{1}}\)
\(\frac{ N _{0}}{2}= N _{0} e ^{-\lambda t _{2}}\)
\(\ln (\frac 34)=-\lambda t _{1}\)
\(\ln (\frac 12)=-\lambda t _{2}\)
\(\ln (\frac 34)-\ln (\frac 12)=\lambda\left( t _{2}- t _{1}\right)\)
\(\Delta t =\frac{\ln (\frac 32)}{\lambda}\)
