Question:

Which of the following is the correct equation for the law of radioactive decay? Symbols have their usual meaning.

Options:

$N(t)=N_oe^{-t/λ}$

$N(t)=N_oe^{-λt}$

$N(t)=N_oe^{-λ/t}$

$N(t)=N_oe^{-2λt}$

Correct Answer:

$N(t)=N_oe^{-λt}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $N(t)=N_oe^{-λt}$

The radioactive decay formula is given by -

$N=N_0e^{-λT}$

where,

N → Quantity still remained

$N_0$ → Initial Quantity

T → Half-life of decay Quantity
