Q. 11
In one average-li A. half the active nuclei decay.
B. less than half the active nuclei decay.
C. more than half the active nuclei decay.
D. all the nuclei decay.
Answer :
The correct answer is (c). This is because, the formula for average life calculation is,
So the decay will be more than half as dividing the half-life with 0.693 will give the result to be more than half of the active nuclei will decay.
