A sample of a radioactive nucleus A disintegrates to another radioactive nucleus B, which in turn disintegrates to some other stable nucleus C. Plot of a graph showing the variation of number of atoms of nucleus B vesus time is: (Assume that at t=0, there are no B atoms in the sample)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Initially no. of atoms of B=0 after t=0, no. atoms of B will starts increasing & reaches maximum value when rate of decay of B=rate of formation of B.
After that maximum value, no. of atoms will starts decreasing as growth decay both are exponential functions, so best possible graph is
