JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

Two radioactive elements \(A\) and \(B\) initially have same number of atoms. The half life of \(A\) is same as the average life of \(B\). If \(\lambda_A\) and \(\lambda_B\) are decay constants of \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then choose the correct relation from the given options.

  1. A \(\lambda_{ A }=\lambda_{ B }\)
  2. B \(\lambda_{ A }=2 \lambda_{ B }\)
  3. C \(\lambda_{ A }=\lambda_{ B } \ln 2\)
  4. D \(\lambda_{ A } \ln 2=\lambda_{ B }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\lambda_{ A }=\lambda_{ B } \ln 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T_{1 / 2}(A)=T_{w N}(B)\) \(\frac{\ln 2}{\lambda_{ A }}=\frac{1}{\lambda_{ B }}\) \(\lambda_{ A }=\lambda_{ B } \ell 2\)
