At some instant, a radioactive sampleS1having an activity5 μCihas twice the number of nuclei as another sampleS2which has an activity of10 μCi. The ratio of half lives ofS1 and S2is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Given: N 1 =2. N 2

Now, activityA 1 = λ 1 N 1 =5μ C i .....(1)

and A 2 = λ 2 N 2 =10μ C i .....(2)

Dividing ( 1 ) ( 2 ) we get

λ 1 λ 2 . N 1 N 2 = 5 10

⇒ t 2 t 1 .2= 1 2 ⇒ t 1 t 2 = 4 1
