Vedclass · Answer

(B) The number of radioactive nuclei remaining at time $t$ is given by $N(t) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}$,where $\lambda = \frac{1}{	au_{mean}}$.For the first species with mean-life $	au_1 = 	au$,the decay constant is $\lambda_1 = \frac{1}{	au}$.The number of nuclei remaining at $t = 5	au$ is $N_1 = N_0 e^{-\lambda_1 t} = N_0 e^{-(1/	au)(5	au)} = N_0 e^{-5} = \frac{N_0}{e^5}$.For the second species with mean-life $	au_2 = 5	au$,the decay constant is $\lambda_2 = \frac{1}{5	au}$.The number of nuclei remaining at $t = 5	au$ is $N_2 = N_0 e^{-\lambda_2 t} = N_0 e^{-(1/5	au)(5	au)} = N_0 e^{-1} = \frac{N_0}{e}$.The total number of radioactive nuclei is $N_{total} = N_1 + N_2 = \frac{N_0}{e^5} + \frac{N_0}{e}$.Taking $N_0$ as a common factor,$N_{total} = N_0 \left( \frac{1 + e^4}{e^5} ight)$.

$A$ radioactive sample consists of two distinct species having an equal number of $N_0$ atoms initially. The mean-life of one species is $\tau$ and of the other is $5\tau$. The decay products in both cases are stable. The total number of radioactive nuclei at $t = 5\tau$ is

For a radioactive element,the mean life is $\tau$. At time $t = 0$,the number of nuclei decaying per unit time is $n$. The number of nuclei that have decayed between time $0$ and $t$ is:

The half-life period of a radioactive element $X$ is same as the mean life time of another radioactive element $Y$. Initially,they have the same number of atoms. Then:

An element $X$ with a half-life of $1.4 \times 10^9$ years decays to form another stable element $Y$. $A$ sample is taken from a rock that contains both $X$ and $Y$ in the ratio $1:7$. If at the time of formation of the rock,$Y$ was not present in the sample,then the age of the rock in years is
