JEE Advanced 2013 Physics question
A freshly prepared sample of a radioisotope of half-life 1386 s has activity disintegrations per second. Given that ln 2 = 0.693, the fraction of the initial number of nuclei (expressed in nearest integer percentage) that will decay in the first 80 s after preparation of the sample is
Answer: 4
Solution
Decay constant . Fraction decayed in t = 80 s: $1 -
