The half of a radioactive substance is 25 minutes The time between 50 % decay and 87.5 % decay of the substance will be
Options
- A75 min
- B25 ~min
- C37.5 ~min
- D50 ~min
Correct answer
D. 50 ~min
Step-by-step solution
For 50 % decay, time is equal to one half-life. For 87.5 % decay, time is three half - lives. Time interval t =2 half - lives. t=2 25 ~min =50 ~min
