The half life of a radioactive substance is 30 days. What is the time taken to disintegrate to 3//4^(th) of its original mass ?

Answer»

30 days
15 days
60 days
90 days

Solution :Here, `(N_0-N)/N_0=3/4` or `N/N_0=1/4=(1/2)^2`
`therefore` No of half LIVES, n=2
Time TAKEN to disintegrate = Half LIFE X No. of half lives
= 30 x 2 =60 days
