MCQ
For a certain radioactive process the graph between $In\, {R}$ and ${t}\,({sec})$ is obtained as shown in the figure. Then the value of half life for the unknown radioactive material is approximately $....\,{sec}.$
  • A
    $6.93$
  • $4.62$
  • C
    $2.62$
  • D
    $9.15$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4.62$
b
${R}=R_{o} e^{-\lambda t}$

$\ell n R=\ell n R_{o}-\lambda t$

$-\lambda$ is slope of straight line

$\lambda=\frac{3}{20}$

$t_{1 / 2}=\frac{\ell n 2}{\lambda}=4.62$

It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by potentiometer than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
$(i)$ In case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
$(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer allows greater precision.
$(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
$(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer, when using a potentiometer is not relevant.
