The activity of a radioactive substance becomes from8000 Bqto1000 Bqin12days. What is the half-life of the radioactive substance?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The value of initial sample is 8000. It decays in 4 days to half of the initial value i.e. 4000 atoms. In next four days, it further days to 2000 atoms. In next four days, it will again decay to 1000 atom i.e. half of the present initial value.

Hence,



So, half-life of sampleT12=4days
