The half - life of `^(215)` At is `100 mu , s.`The time taken for the radioactivity of a sample of `^(215)` At to dacay to `1//16^(th)` of its initialy value isA. `400 mu s `B. `63 mu s `C. `40 mu s `D. `300 mu s `

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`A = A_(0) (1//2)^(n) , n= `number of half lives .
`(A_(0))/(16) =A_(0) ((1)/(2)) ^(n) :. ((1)/(2)) ^(4) = ((1)/(2)) ^(n) `
`rArr n = 4`
`:. T = (4 xx 100)mus = 400 mus`
