The decay constant , for a given radioactive sample, is 0.3465 "day"^(-1) .What percentage of this sample will get decayed in a period of 4 days ?

Answer»

`100%`
`50%`
`75%`
`10%`

Solution :Here, `lambda=0.3465 "DAY"^(-1) ` ,t=4 days
`T_(1//2)=0.693/lambda=0.693/0.3465`=2 days
`therefore n=1/T_(1//2)=4/2`=2
HENCE, sample LEFT decayed after a period of 4 days.
`N/N_0=(1/2)^2 =(1/4)`=25%
`therefore ` Sample decayed = 75%
