The half life of radioactive sample undergoingα-decay is1.4×1017 s.If the number of nuclei in the sample is2.0×1021,the activity of the sample is nearly:NEET 2020 (Phase 2)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Recall the formula of activity of a radioactive element in terms of decay constat, R=λN, and we know that the relation between decay constant and half-life is, T=0.693λ⇒R=0.693T×N⇒R=0.6931.4×1017×2×1021⇒R=104 Bq.
