The half-life of a radioisotope is 10 h. Find the total number of disintegration in the tenth hour measured from a time when the activity was 1 Ci.
उत्तर
Given:
Half-life of radioisotope,`T_(1"/"2)` = 10 hrs
Initial activity, `A_0` = 1 Ci
Disintegration constant, `lambda = 0.693/(10 xx 3600) "s"^-1`
Activity of radioactive sample,
`A = A_0e^(-lambdat)`
Here, A0 = Initial activity
`lambda` = Disintegration constant
t = Time taken
After 9 hours,
Activity , `A = A_0e^(-lambdat) = 1 xx e^(-0.693/(10 xx 3600) xx 9 = 0.536` Ci
`therefore` Number of Atoms left , N = `A/lambda = (0.536 xx 10 xx 3.7 xx 10^10 xx 3600)/0.693 = 103.023 xx 10^13` After 10 hrs
Activity , A " `= A_0e^(-lambdat)`
= `1 xx e^(-0.693/10 xx 10) = 0.5` Ci
Number of atoms left after the 10th hour (`N` ")will be
A" = `lambdaN` "
N" = A"/`lambda`
= `(0.5 xx 3.7 xx 10^10 xx 3.600)/(0.693"/"10)`
= `26.37 xx 10^10 xx 3600 = 96.103 xx 10^13`
Number of disintegrations = (103.023 − 96.103) × 1013
= 6.92 × 1013

Natural water contains a small amount of tritium (`""_1^3H`). This isotope beta-decays with a half-life of 12.5 years. A mountaineer while climbing towards a difficult peak finds debris of some earlier unsuccessful attempt. Among other things he finds a sealed bottled of whisky. On returning, he analyses the whisky and finds that it contains only 1.5 per cent of the `""_1^3H` radioactivity as compared to a recently purchased bottle marked '8 years old'. Estimate the time of that unsuccessful attempt.

Radioactive isotopes are produced in a nuclear physics experiment at a constant rate dN/dt = R. An inductor of inductance 100 mH, a resistor of resistance 100 Ω and a battery are connected to form a series circuit.

It is found that i/N remains constant in time where i is the current in the circuit at time t and N is the number of active nuclei at time t. Find the half-life of the isotope.
