The rate of radioactive disintegration at an instant for a radioactive sample of half life \(2.2 \times 10^9 \;s\) is \(10^{10}\; s ^{-1}\). The number of radioactive atoms in that sample at that instant is,

  1. A \(3.17 \times 10^{20}\)
  2. B \(3.17 \times 10^{19}\)
  3. C \(3.17 \times 10^{17}\)
  4. D \(3.17 \times 10^{18}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3.17 \times 10^{19}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T _{1 / 2}=\frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}\) \(2.2 \times 10^9=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}\)
