The disintegration rate of a certain radioactive sample at any instant is \(4250\) disintegrations per minute.\(10\) minutes later, the rate becomes \(2250\) disintegrations per minute. The approximate decay cons \(.........\min^{-1}\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.063\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At \(t=0\) disintegration rate \(=4250\,dpm\)

At \(t=10\) disintegration rate \(=2250\,dpm\)

\(A=A_{0} e^{-\lambda t}\)

\(2250=4250\,e ^{-\lambda .(10)}\)

\(\Rightarrow \lambda(10)=\ln \left(\frac{4250}{2250}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow \lambda=0.063 min ^{-1}\)
