Questions  

A radioactive substance at any instant has its disintegration rate 5000 disintegrations per minute. After 5 minutes, the rate is 1250 disintegration per minute. Then the decay constant (per minute) is
 

a
0.8 In 2
b
0.4 In 2
c
0.2 In 2
d
0.1 In 2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

rate o disintegration is proportional to no of atoms present\then 50002n=1250   n=2  i.e, two half life time is 5 min T12=2.5 min0.693λ=2.5    ln2λ=2.5  then λ=ln 212.5=0.4ln2
