13.Nuclei
easy
The sample of a radioactive substance has $10^6$ nuclei. Its half life is $20 \,s$. The number of nuclei that will be left after $10 \,s$ is nearly ...... $\times 10^5$
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$7$
D
$11$
Solution
(c)
$N=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n$
$n=\frac{1}{2}$
$N=10^6\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
$N=0.732 \times 10^6$
$N=7 \times 10^5$
