Question

In a sample of radioactive material, what percentage of the initial number of active nuclei will decay during one mean life

  1. 69.3%

  2. 36%
  3. 50%
  4. 37%

The correct answer is: 36%


    Number of atoms remains undecayed N equals N subscript 0 e to the power of left parenthesis minus lambda t right parenthesis

    Number of atoms decayed equals straight N subscript 0 open parentheses 1 minus straight e to the power of negative lambda straight t end exponent close parentheses

    equals straight N subscript 0 open parentheses 1 minus straight e to the power of negative lambda cross times 1 over lambda end exponent close parentheses equals straight N subscript 0 open parentheses 1 minus 1 over straight e close parentheses equals 0.63 straight N subscript 0 equals 63 straight percent sign of No
