The decay constant of a radioactive isotope is lambda. If A_1 and A_2 are its activites at time t_1 and t_2 respectively, then the number of nuclei which have decayed the time (t_1-t_2)

Answer»

`A_1t_1-A_2t_2`
`A_1-A_2`
`(A_1-A_2)//LAMBDA`
`lambda(A_1-A_2)`

Solution :`A_1=lambdaN_1` at time `t_1`
`A_2=lambdaN_2` at time `t_2`
Therefore, number of NUCLEI DECAYED during time INTERVAL `(t_1-t_2)` is `N_1-N_2=((A_1-A_2))/lambda`
