Radio activity
Question

Two radio active nuclei x and y initially contain an equal no.of atoms.  Their half life are 1 hr, 2 hrs.  The ratio of their rates of disintegration after  2 hrs from the start is

Moderate
Solution

activity is N λ =dNdt  after 2 hours x becomes N4 and Y becomes N2  as λ is inversely proportional to T12 there activity are in the ratio, (N4)11 and N212
