If10%of a radioactive substance decays in5 years, then the percentage of the substance that will have decayed in20 years, will be

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

N N 0 = e −λt

10100=e-λ5

N N 0 = e −λ20

ln 10 100 ln N N 0 = 5 20

N N 0 =0.656

∴The fraction of material decayed is

=1-0.656=0.344

=34.4%
