A U^(238) preparation of mass 1.0g emits 1.24.10^(4) alpha particles per second. Find the life of this nuclide and the activity of the preparatio.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Here `N_(0)=(1)/(238)xx6.023xx10^(23)`
`= 2.531xx10^(21)`
The activity is `A= 1.24xx10^(4) dis//sec` ltbr4gt Then `lambda=(A)/(N_(0))= 4.90xx10^(-18) per sec`.
Hence the HALF life is
`T_(1/2)=(In2)/(lambda)= 4.49xx10^(9) YEARS`
