A heavy nucleus of half-life minutes undergoes alpha-decay with probability of and beta-decay with probability of . Initially, the number of nuclei is . The number of alpha-decays of in the first one hour is:
Solution:
Given,
Number of nuclei remain after hour,
It means nuclei has decayed,
Now,
Number of decayed Nucleus
