  • Draw a graph showing the variation of decay rate with the number of active nuclei. From the Rutherford and Soddy law, we get, the radioactive decay can be expressed as minus dN divided dt equal to lambda N.

Draw a graph showing the variation of decay rate with the number of active nuclei.

Answers (1)

Explanation:-

The graph will show a straight line, where the slope of the line represents the decay constant λ, and the line will pass through the origin.

 

The decay rate (R) of a radioactive sample is related to the number of active nuclei N (the number of radioactive atoms still present in the sample) and the decay constant λ. The relationship is given by:

From the Rutherford and Soddy law, we get, that radioactive decay can be expressed as-\frac{dn}{dt}=\lambda N
