Question

The activity of a radioactive sample is $A_{1}$ at time $t_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ at time $t_{2}$ . If $T_{a v}$ is the average life time of the radioactive sample, then the number of atoms that decay during interval $(t_{2} - t_{1})$ is

A_{1} t_{1} - A_{2} t_{2}

Solution

The correct option is B $(A_{1} - A_{2}) T_{a v}$
$A c t i v i t y, A = λ N \Rightarrow A_{1} = λ N_{1} = \frac{1}{T_{a v}} N_{1}; A_{2} = \frac{N_{2}}{T_{a v}} ∴ (N_{1} - N_{2}) = (A_{1} - A_{2}) T_{a v}$
