A radio nuclide sample has N0 nuclei at t = 0. Its number of undecayed nuclei get reduced to N0/e at t = τ. What does the term τ stand for ? Write in terms of τ the time interval ‘T’ in which half of the original number of nuclei of this radio nuclide would have got decayed.

Answer»

τ is the mean life time of radio nuclide T is the half-life period of radio nuclide, the relation is

τ = 1.44 T

i.e., Mean life period = 1.44 × Half life period
