Nuclei - Result Question 82

[2000]

(a) $\lambda=\frac{\log _{e} 2}{T}$

(b) $\lambda=\frac{1}{\log _{e} 2 . T}$

(c) $\lambda=\frac{T}{\log _{e} 2}$

(d) $\lambda=\frac{2}{T}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 84. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) $t=\frac{1}{\lambda} \log \frac{a}{a-x} \quad$ when $t=T, x=\frac{a}{2}$

$T=\frac{1}{\lambda} \log \frac{a}{a-\frac{a}{2}}=\frac{1}{\lambda} \log _{e} 2 \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{1}{T} \log _{e} 2$
