The radioactivity of a sample is R1 at a time T1 and R2 at a time T2. If the half life of the specimen is T, the number of atoms that have disintegrated in the time (T2-T1) is proportional to

a
R1 T1-R2 T2
b
R1-R2
c
R1-R2/T
d
R1-R2×T

detailed solution

Correct option is D

λ=0.693t1/2    and    R=λNt  Radioactivity at T1 is R1=λN1 ,   Radioactivity at T2 is R2=λN2  Number of atoms decayed in time  T1-T2=N1-N2 = R1-R2λ=R1-R2T0.693 ∝ R1-R2T
