JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Surface & Nuclear Chemistry / भूतल और नाभिकीय रसायन Question Bank Rate of decay and Half-life

  • question_answer
    A freshly prepared radioactive source of half-life 2 hours emits radiations of intensity which is 64 times the permissible safe level. The minimum time after which it would be possible to work safely with this source is [IIT 1988]

    A)                 6 hours

    B)                 12 hours

    C)                 24 hours              

    D)                 128 hours

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

           \[N=\frac{{{N}_{o}}}{64}=\frac{{{N}_{o}}}{{{2}^{6}}}\] \[\therefore n=6\]                                 Thus total time \[=2\times 6=12hr\].
