    A Geigger Muller counter is used to study the radioactive process. In the absence of radioactive substance A, it counts 3 disintegration per second (dps). At the start in the presence of A, it records 23 dps; and after 10 min 13 dps,
    (i) What does it count after 20 min
    (ii) What is the half life of A?
     

    A) 8 dps, 10 min                

    B) 5 dps, 10 min

    C) 5 dps, 20 min                

    D) 5 dps, 5 min

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] In the absence of A, 3 dps is zero error, hence Initial count \[=23-3=20\text{ }dps\] After \[10min=13-3=10\text{ }dps\] After 20 min =5 dps (recorded =5+3=8 dps) (50% fell in 10 min,\[{{T}_{50}}=10\,min\])
