A freshly prepared radioactive source of half-life `2 h` emits radiation of intensity which is 64 times the permissible safe level. The minimum time after which it would be possible to work safely with this source isA. `6h`B. `12 h`C. `24 h`D. `128 h` |
Answer» Correct Answer - b `(A)/(A_(0)) =(N)/(N_(0))` Let safe level avtivity be `A`. Initial activity =`64 A`. Hence, `(N)/(N_(0)) =(A)/(A_(0))=(A)/(64A)=(1)/(64)` or `((1)/(2))^(n)=(1)/(64)` or `n=6` Hence, `(t)/(T) =n=6` `becauseT=2h` `:. t= 12 h`. |
