The half-life of the radioactive radon is 3.8 days. The time, at the end of which 1/20th of the radon sample will remain undecayed, is (given $log_{10} e = 0.4343$)
- 3.8 days
- 16.5 days
- 33 days
- 76 days
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is(B): 16.5 days.
Using \(N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}\)
Where \(\lambda=\frac{1n2}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{1n(2)}{3.8}\)
\(\therefore\) \(\frac{N_0}{20}=N_0e^{-\frac{1n(2)}{3.8}}t\)
Solving this equation with the help of given data we find :
t = 16.5 days.
