the radioacti...

Question

the radioactive isotopes decay at such a rate that after 192 minute only 1/16 of original amount remain. calculate the half life period.

Open in App

Solution

1/16 can be associated with 4 half life period
1/16th of the radioactive isotope remain after 192 minutes
Therefore half life = 192/4
= 48
