Half life of radio-active element is 1600 years. The fraction of sample remains undecayed after 6400 years will be
Options
- A1 16
- B1 4
- C1 8
- D1 24
Correct answer
A. 1 16
Step-by-step solution
N N ₀ = ( 1 2 )^ t T Here, t =6400 years and T =1600 years N N ₀ = ( 1 2 )^ 6400 1600 = ( 1 2 )^4= 1 16
