A fraction f_1 of a radioactive sample decays in one mean life, and a fraction f_2 decays in one half life. Then |
|
Answer» `f_1 gt f_2` and half life , `T_(1//2)="In2"/lambda=0.693/lambda` `therefore tau gt T_(1//2)`. GREATER fraction will decay in longer time. Hence, fraction DECAYED in one mean life MUST be greater than the fraction decayed in one half life i.e. `f_1 gt f_2`. |
