    The fraction of a sample of radioactive nuclei that remains undecayed after one mean life is

    A) \[\frac{1}{e}\]                                  

    B)  \[1-\frac{1}{e}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{{{e}^{2}}}\]                                   

    D) \[1-\frac{1}{{{e}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    By using\[N={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-\lambda t}}\]and average life time, \[t=\frac{1}{\lambda }\] So,          \[N={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-\lambda \times 1/\lambda }}={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{e}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{e}\] Now, disintegrated fraction \[=1-\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}=1-\frac{1}{e}\]
