JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei
There are \(10^{10}\) radioactive nuclei in a given radioactive element, Its half-life time is \(1\, minute.\) How many nuclei will remain after \(30\, seconds?\) \((\sqrt{2}=1.414)\)
- A \(2 \times 10^{10}\)
- B \(7 \times 10^{9}\)
- C \(10^{5}\)
- D \(4 \times 10^{10}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(7 \times 10^{9}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{{N}}{{N}_{0}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{{t}}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}\) \(\frac{{N}}{10^{10}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{60}}\) \({N}=10^{10} \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{10^{10}}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 7 \times 10^{9}\)
