Activity of a radioactive substance is $R_1$ at time $t_1$ and $R_2$ at time $t_2(t_2 > t_1).$ Then the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$ is :

  • A

    $\frac{t_2}{t_1}$

  • B

    ${e^{ - \lambda ({t_1} + {t_2})}}$

  • C

    $e\left( {\frac{{{t_1} - {t_2}}}{\lambda }} \right)$

  • D

    ${e^{  \lambda ({t_1} + {t_2})}}$
