Atoms And Nuclei Question 391

Question: A radioactive element decays to $ \frac{1}{4} $ th of its initial value in time t. The ratio of its half-life to mean life is

Options:

A) $ \frac{\ln 2}{{{\lambda }^{2}}} $

B) $ \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda } $

C) $ 2\ln 2 $

D) $ \ln 2 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Half-life, $ {t_{1/2}}=\frac{In,2}{\lambda } $ Mean life, $ \tau =\frac{1}{\lambda },\therefore ,\frac{{t_{1/2}}}{\tau }=In2. $
