The half life of a radioactive substance is \(5\) years. After \(x\) years a given sample of the radioactive substance gest reduced to \(6.25 \%\) of its initial value of \(x\) is ...............
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(20\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(T 1 / 2=5\) year
\(N = N _{0}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\text {No of half lives }}\)
\(\frac{ N }{ N _{0}}=\frac{1}{16}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4}\)
Time \(=4\) half lives \(=20\) years

- Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Consider a ferromagnetic material :
Assertion (A) : The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a magnetic dipole moment and interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves forming domains.
Reason (R) : At high enough temperature, the domain structure of ferromagnetic material disintegrates. Thus, magnetization will disappear at high enough temperature known as Curie temperature.
