The half lives of two radioactive materials \(A\) and \(B\) are respectively \(T\) and \(2 T\). If the ratio of the initial masses of the materials \(A\) and \(B\) is \(8: 1\), then the time after which the ratio of the masses of the materials \(A\) and \(B\) becomes \(4: 1\) is

  1. A \(2 T\)
  2. B \(4 T\)
  3. C \(T\)
  4. D \(8 T\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 T\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the law of radioactive decay. \(\mathrm{M}=\mathrm{M}_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{t}}{(\mathrm{~T} / 2)}}\) Here, \(\mathrm{M}_0=\) initial mass \(\mathrm{M}=\) mass left after time t \(\mathrm{T} / 2=\) half live.…
