Q13.10Multiple correct
The variation of decay rate of two radioactive samples A and B with time is shown in Fig. 13.1. Which of the following statements are true?
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (a)Decay constant of A is greater than that of B, hence A always decays faster than B.
- (b)Decay constant of B is greater than that of A but its decay rate is always smaller than that of A.
- (c)Decay constant of A is greater than that of B but it does B not always decay faster than B. A
- (d)Decay constant of B is smaller than that of A but still its t decay rate becomes equal to that of A at a later instant. Fig. 13.1
