Activity of a radioactive substance decreases from 8000 Bq to 1000 Bq in 9 days. What is the half-life and average life of the radioactive substance?

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
`1000=(1/2)^n8000`
`:.` `n=3=number of half-lives`
These half-lives are equivalent to 9 days. Hence, one half-life is 3 days.
`t_(av)=1.44 t_(1//2)=1.44xx3=4.32days`
