The count rate of 10g of radioactive material was measured at different times and this has been shown in the figure. The half life of material and the total counts (approximately) in the first half life period, respectively are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Read time for 50 count rate, it gives half life period of 3 hrs, one small square gives 600 counts (10 × 60). The number of small squares between graph and time axis are approx. 24
Hence count rate =
