In a sample of radioactive material , what fraction of the initial number of active nucleiwill remain undisintegrated after half of the half life of the sample ?

Answer»

`1/4`
`1/(2sqrt2)`
`1/sqrt2`
`sqrt2-1`

Solution :According to RADIOACTIVE DECAY
`N/N_0=(1/2)^(t//T_(1//2))`
Here, `t=(T_(1//2))/2 , therefore N/N_0=(1/2)^(1//2) = 1/sqrt2`
