Two radioactive substances \(A\) and \(B\) have decay constants \(5\lambda \) and \(\lambda \) respectively. At \(t = 0\), a sample has the same number of the two nuclei. The time taken for the ratio of the number of nuclei to become \((\frac {1}{e})^2\) will be
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(1/2\lambda \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{1}{{{e^2}}} = {e^{\lambda t - 5\lambda t}}\)
\(t\, = \,\frac{1}{{2\lambda }}\)
