The half-life of’ 9138Sr is 9.70 hours. Find its decay constant. (Ans: 1.99 x 10⁻⁵ s)
Given Data:
half life of radioactive nucleus 22686Ra = T1∕2 = 9.70 hours
by converting into Sec (SI unit) we have 1 hour = 3.6 x 10³ s
T1∕2 = 9.70 x 3.6 x 10³ s = 3.492 x 10³ s = 3.492 x 10⁴ s
To Find:
The decay constant = λ =?
Solution:
Using the formula for Half-life we have
T1∕2 = 0.693λ
or
λ = 0.693T1∕2
Putting values
λ = 0.6933.492x10⁴s
λ = 0.1985 x 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹
or
λ = 1.99 x 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ ----------------Ans.
