The rate of radioactive disintegration at an instant for a radioactive sample of half life 2.2×109 s is 1010 s-1The number of radioactive atoms in that sample at that instant is,

a
3.17×1019
b
3.17×1020
c
3.17×1017
d
3.17×1018

detailed solution

Correct option is A

T1/2=ln2λ=0.693λ 2.2×109=0.693λ λ=0.6932.2×109=3.15×10-10 R=λN           (R is activity)  N=Rλ=10103.15×10-10=3.17×1019
