The half life of radioactive sample undergoing α\alpha-decay is 1.4×1017s.1 . 4 \times {10}^{17}s . If the number of nuclei in the sample is 2.0×1021,2 . 0 \times {10}^{21}, the activity of the sample is nearly:

Options

  1. A104Bq{10}^{4}Bq
  2. B105Bq{10}^{5}Bq
  3. C106Bq{10}^{6}Bq
  4. D103Bq{10}^{3}Bq

Correct answer

A. 104Bq{10}^{4}Bq

Step-by-step solution

Recall the formula of activity of a radioactive element in terms of decay constat,& R=\lambdaNR = \lambdaN, and we know that the relation between decay constant and half-life is,~T=0.693λ⇒R=0.693T×N⇒R=0.6931.4×1017×2×1021⇒R=104BqT = \dfrac{0 . 693}{λ}⇒ R = \dfrac{0 . 693}{T} \times N⇒ R = \dfrac{0 . 693}{1 . 4 \times {10}^{17}} \times 2 \times {10}^{21}⇒ R = {10}^{4}Bq.&
