Following statements related to radioactivity are given below :
(A) Radioactivity is a random and spontaneous process and is dependent on physical and chemical conditions.
(B) The number of undecayed nuclei in the radioactive sample decays exponentially with time.
(C) Slope of the graph of (no. of undecayed nuclei) vs. time represents the reciprocal of mean life time \left(τ\right) and half-life time is not constant.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A) and (B) only
- B(B) and (D) only
- C(B) and (C) only
- D(C) and (D) only
Correct answer
C. (B) and (C) only
Step-by-step solution
Radioactive decay is a random and spontaneous process, it depends on unbalancing of nucleus. This process is dependent on the law of conservation of charge.
We know that, Nt and {N}_{0} ={N}_{0} - N{N}_{0} - N = {N}_{0}\left(1 - {e}^{- \lambdat}\right)\left(1\right)lnN = - \lambdat + ln{N}_{0}= - \lambdaT\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{\ln 2}{\lambda}\lambda \times T\dfrac{1}{2} = \ln 2 = constant
Hence, (B) and (C) are correct only.
