    A radioactive nuclei with decay constant 0.5/s is being produced at a constant rate of 100 nuclei/s. If at t = 0 there were no nuclei, the time when there are 50 nuclei is:

    A) \[1\,s\]              

    B)        \[2\ln \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)s\]

    C) \[\ln \,2\,s\]        

    D)        \[\ln \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let N be the number of nuclei at any time t then, \[\frac{dN}{dt}=100-\lambda N\] or    \[\int\limits_{0}^{N}{\frac{dN}{(100-\lambda N)}=\int\limits_{0}^{t}{dt}}\]\[-\frac{1}{\lambda }[\log (100-\lambda N)]_{0}^{N}=t\] \[\log (100-\lambda N)-\log 100=-\lambda t\] \[\log \frac{100-\lambda N}{100}=-\lambda t\] \[\frac{100-\lambda N}{100}={{e}^{-\lambda t}}\] \[1-\frac{\lambda N}{100}={{e}^{-\lambda t}}\] \[N=\frac{100}{\lambda }(1-{{e}^{-\lambda }}t)\] As,        \[N=50\]and \[\lambda =0.5/\sec \] \[\therefore \]      \[50=\frac{100}{0.5}(1-{{e}^{-0.5t}})\] Solving we get, \[t=2\,\,ln\,\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\,\sec \]
