The natural logarithm of the activity R of a radioactive sample varies with time t as shown. At t=0 , there are N₀ undecayed nuclei. Then, N₀ is equal to [Take e^2=7.5 ]
Options
- A7500
- B3500
- C75000
- D150000
Correct answer
C. 75000
Step-by-step solution
From the diagram at t=0 _e R₀=2 R₀=e^2=7.5 Since, R₀= N₀ ....(i) Since, = Slope of graph = 1 10 10^3 =10⁻⁴ ~s ⁻¹ From Eq. (i), N₀= R₀ = 7.5 10⁻⁴ =75000
