Q19.If f denotes the ratio of the number of nuclei decayed (Nd) to the number of nuclei at t = 0, (N0) then for a collection of radioactive nuclei, the rate of change of f with respect to time is given as: [λ is the radioactive decay constant] (1) −λ(1 −e−λt) (2) λ(1 −e−λt) (3) λe−λt (4) −λe−λt

What This Question Tests

The question asks for the rate of change of the fraction of decayed nuclei, requiring the application of the radioactive decay law and its derivative with respect to time.

Concepts Tested

Radioactive decay lawDecay constantNumber of decayed nuclei

Formulas Used

N(t) = N_0 e^(-λt)

N_d(t) = N_0 - N(t)
