    The half-life of\[_{6}{{C}^{14}}\](if its\[\lambda \]is\[2.31\times {{10}^{-4}}\]) is

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{2}}yr\]              

    B) \[3\times {{10}^{3}}yr\]

    C)  \[3.5\times {{10}^{4}}yr\]           

    D) \[4\times {{10}^{3}}yr\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The half-life period is the time needed by a radioactive element to decay one half of its original weight. It is expressed as half-life \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda }\] \[=\frac{0.693}{2.31\times {{10}^{-4}}}\]                 \[=0.3\times {{10}^{4}}yr\]                 \[=3\times {{10}^{3}}yr\]
