Previous Years AIEEE/JEE Mains Questions
Q. The half life of a radioactive substance is 20 minutes. The approximate time interval $\left(\mathfrak{t}_{2}-\mathfrak{t}_{1}\right)$ between the time $t_{2}$ when $\frac{2}{3}$ of it has decayed and time $t_{1}$ when $\frac{1}{3}$ of it had decayed is :-
(1) 20 min (2) 28 min (3) 7 min (4) 14 min
[AIEEE - 2011]
Ans. (1)
\because \frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{N}_{0}}=\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]^{t / T} \quad \therefore \frac{1}{3}=\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]^{\frac{t_{2}}{T}} \& \frac{2}{3}=\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]^{\frac{t_{1}}{T}}
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]^{\left(\mathrm{t}_{2}-\mathrm{t}_{1}\right) \frac{1}{\mathrm{T}}} \Rightarrow 1=\frac{\left(\mathrm{t}_{2}-\mathrm{t}_{1}\right)}{\mathrm{T}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{t}_{2}-\mathrm{t}_{1}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{t}_{2}-\mathrm{t}_{1}=20 \mathrm{min}
Q. Half-lives of two radioactive elements A and B are 20 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively. Initially, the samples have equal number of nuclei. After 80 minutes , the ratio of decayed numbers of A and B nuclei will be :-
(1) 5 : 4 (2) 1 : 16 (3) 4 : 1 (4) 1 : 4
[JEE-Mains - 2016]
Ans. (1)
\mathrm{t}=80 \mathrm{min}=4 \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}=2 \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}
\therefore \text { no. of nuclei of } \mathrm{A} \text { decayed }=\mathrm{N}_{0}-\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}}{2^{4}}=\frac{15 \mathrm{N}_{0}}{16}
\therefore \text { no. of nuclei of } \mathrm{B} \text { decayed }=\mathrm{N}_{0}-\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}}{2^{2}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{N}_{0}}{4}
required ratio $=\frac{5}{4}$
Q. A radioactive nucleus A with a half life T, decays into a nucleus B. At t = 0, there is no nucleus B. At sometime t, the ratio of the number of B to that of A is 0.3. Then, t is given by :
(1) $\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{T} \log (1.3)$
$(2) \mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\log (1.3)}$
(3) $\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{2} \frac{\log 2}{\log 1.3}$
(4) \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{T} \frac{\log 1.3}{\log 2}
[JEE-Mains - 2017]
Ans. (4)
At time t
$\frac{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}}=.3 \Rightarrow \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{B}}=.3 \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}$
also let initially there are total $\mathrm{N}_{0}$ number of nuclei
$\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{N}_{0}$
$\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}}{1.3}$
Also as we know
$\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{N}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{t}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}}{1.3}=\mathrm{N}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{t}}$
$\frac{1}{1.3}=\mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t} \Rightarrow \ell \mathrm{n}(1.3)=\lambda \mathrm{t}$ or $\mathrm{t}=\frac{\ell \mathrm{n}(1.3)}{\lambda}$
$\mathrm{t}=\frac{\ell \mathrm{n}(1.3)}{\frac{\ell \mathrm{n}(2)}{\mathrm{T}}}=\frac{\ell \mathrm{n}(1.3)}{\ell \mathrm{n}(2)} \mathrm{T}$
