    \[Rn\]decay info\[{{P}_{o}}\]by emitting\[\alpha -\]particles with life of 4 days a sample contains\[6.4\times {{10}^{10}}\]atom of Rn. After 12 days, the number of atoms of\[Rn\] left in the sample will be:

    A)  \[0.8\times {{10}^{10}}\]

    B)  \[2.1\times {{10}^{10}}\]

    C)  \[3.2\times {{10}^{10}}\]

    D)  \[0.3\times {{10}^{10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Number half-life \[n=\frac{12}{4}=3\] This fraction undecayed \[\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{1}{8}\] So,       \[N=\frac{1}{8}{{N}_{0}}=\frac{1}{8}\times 6.4\times {{10}^{10}}\] \[=0.8\times {{10}^{10}}\]
