- (A) and (B) only
- (B) and (D) only
- (B) and (C) only
- (C) and (D) only
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Radioactive decay is a random and spontaneous process it depends on unbalancing of nucleus.
N = N0e–λt …(B)
ln N = –λt + lnN0
So, slope = – λ …(C)
t1/2=\(\frac{ln2}{lλ}\)
So t1/2 × λ = ln2 = Constant
