The half-life of a radioactive substance is \(T\). The time taken, for disintegrating \(\frac{7}{8}\) th part of its original mass will be
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(3T\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(t _{1 / 2}= T\)
\(1 \underset{ T }{\longrightarrow} \frac{ T }{2} \underset{ T }{\longrightarrow} \frac{1}{4} \underset{ T }{\longrightarrow} \frac{1}{8}\)
\(t _{7 / 8}=3 T\)
