- thorium series
- actinium series
- neptunium series
- uranium series
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: C Explanation: -
The neptunium series starts with Np-237 and terminates at:
- lead-207
- Bismuth-200
- lead-210
- Bismuth-210
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: B Explanation: -
The rate of radioactive decay depends on:
- the number of isotopes
- the number of atoms present
- external conditions
- all of these
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: B Explanation: -
If N is the number of undecayed atoms of an isotope present in the sample at any time t, the rate of radioactive decay is given by the equation:
- `-(dN)/dt = lamdaN`
- `(dN)/dt = lamdaN`
- `-(dN)/dt = lamda/N`
- `-(dN)/dt = N/lamda`
- In the equation `-(dN)/dt = lamda N` , λ is called decay constant or disintegration constant.
Show Answer
Answer: A Explanation: -
The proportion of atoms of an isotope decaying per second is called:
- disintegration constant
- rate of radioactive decay
- Disintegration law
- none of these
- Decay constant or disintegration constant (λ) = `-(dN)/dtN` = `-(dN)/N` (dt =1)
Show Answer
Answer: A Explanation: -
The S.I unit of radioactivity (or rate of disintegration) is:
Becquerel (Bq)
disintegration (or decay) per second (dps)
Curie (Ci)
all of these
1. There are sources according to which becquerel is international unit of radioactivity.
2. Curi is Non S.I unit of radioactivity
