Law of Radioactive Decay

The half life of radian is about 1600 years. Of 100 g of radium existing now, 25 g will remain unchanged after

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. 25100=14=(12)2\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2, so 2 half-lives.
  2. t=2×1600=3200t = 2 \times 1600 = 3200 years.
  3. So the answer is (d) 3200 years.
