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
