In a radioactive sample, nuclei either decay into stable nuclei with decay constant per year or into stable nuclei with decay constant per year. Given that in this sample all the stable and nuclei are produced by the nuclei only. In time years, if the ratio of the sum of stable and nuclei to the radioactive nuclei is the value of t will be : [Given ]
Where (decay constant for ) and
(decay constant for )
These form two parallel nuclear reactions.
Equivalent decay consent,
Now, number of active nuclei of left at
And according to Law of Radioactivity,
........(i)
Now, according to question,
Then using equation (i)
