Two radioactive materials A and B having decay constant '7 \(\lambda\) ' and ' \(\lambda\) ' respectively, initially have same number of nuclei. The time taken to have the ratio of number of nuclei of material B to that of A as ' e ' is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\lambda}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{6 \lambda}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{7 \lambda}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{8 \lambda}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{6 \lambda}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( N_A(t) = N_0 e^{-7\lambda t} \) \( N_B(t) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t} \)
