The half life period of radioactive element x is same as the mean life time of another radioactive
element y.
Initially they have the same number of atoms. Then :
A. x-will decay faster than y.
B. y-will decay faster than x.
C. x and y have same decay rate initially and later on different decay rate.
D. x and y decay at the same rate always.
The Correct Answer is Option (B)
Given, (1/2)x = ()y
Here, 1/2 = half-life period of radioactive element
and = mean life period of radioactive element.
As we
know the expression,
Half-life of the radioactive element x,
Mean life of the radioactive element
y,
Substituting the values in Eq. (i), we
get
Initially they have same number of
atoms,
As we know that,

A sample of a radioactive nucleus A disintegrates to another radioactive nucleus B, which in turn
disintegrates to some other stable nucleus C. Plot of a graph showing the variation of number of atoms
of
nucleus B versus time is :
(Assume that at t = 0, there are no B atoms in the sample)
A.
B.
C.
D.
The Correct Answer is Option (D)
A B C (stable)
Initially no. of atoms of B = 0 at t =
0, no. of atoms of B will starts increasing & reaches maximum value when rate of decay
of B
= rate of
formation of B.
After that maximum value, no. of atoms will starts decreasing as

=
1.1)
A. 740 years
B. 1110 years
C. 700 years
D. 340 years
The Correct Answer is Option (A)
The given situation can be shown as
Here,
radioactive material X is decayed into two particles Y and Z with their respective decay
constant,
a and b. It means that
where, t1/2(a) = 700 yr
and
t1/2(b) = 1400 yr
and
Suppose the initial number of radioactive nuclei
was N0.
where, N = number of nuclei present at time = t
and N0 = number of nuclei present at time = 0
or
Taking log on both the sides of above equation,
we get
