The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is \(100 \,hours.\) The fraction of original activity that will remain after \(150\, hours\) would be :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3 \sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{A}{A_{0}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{t} / T_{\mathrm{H}}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{150 / 100}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
