SATHEE: Modern Physics 3 Question 5

Modern Physics 3 Question 5

5. A radioactive nucleus $A$ with a half-life $T$ , decays into a nucleus $B$ . At $t = 0$ , there is no nucleus $B$ . After sometime $t$ , the ratio of the number of $B$ to that of $A$ is 0.3 . Then, $t$ is given by

(2017 Main)

(a) $t = T \frac{\log 1.3}{\log 2}$

(b) $t = T \log 1.3$

(d) $t = \frac{T \log 2}{2 \log 1.3}$

Solution:

Decay scheme is,

Given, $\frac{N_{B}}{N_{A}} = 0.3 = \frac{3}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{N_{B}}{N_{A}} = \frac{30}{100}$

So, $N_{0} = 100 + 30 = 130$ atoms

By using $N = N_{0} e^{- λ t}$

We have, $100 = 130 e^{- λ t}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1.3} = e^{- λ t} \Rightarrow \log 1.3 = λ t$

$\Rightarrow \log 1.3 = \frac{\log 2}{T} \cdot t$

$∴ T = \frac{T \cdot \log (1.3)}{\log 2}$
