Find the probability that a certain radioactive atom would get disintegrated in a time equal to the mean life of the radioactive sample. |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :Since , the Probability P(t) that a particular radioactive ATOM gets DISINTEGRATED in a TIME t (from Eq.) given by`P(t)=1-e^(-lambdat)` `therefore` Here `t= LT t gt =1/lambda"" therefore P(t)=1-1//e` `approx` 1-0.37=0.63 |
