(a) State the law of radioactive decay. Plot a graph showing the number (N) of undecayed nuclei as a function of time (t) for a given radioactive sample having half-life T_(1/2). Depict in the plot the number of undecayed nucei at(i) t=3T_(1/2) and (ii) t=5T_(1/2). (b) The half-life, of a given radioactive nuclide, is 138.6 days. What is the mean life of this nuclide? After how much time will a given sample of this radioactive nuclide get reduced to only 12.5% of its initial value? |
