Question

The activity of a nuclide is 15millicurie. If its decay constant is 0.005 sec1, the number of atoms present in it is
  1. 11.1 x 1010
  2. 111 x 1010
  3. 1 x 109
  4. 1.1 x 1010

A
1.1 x 1010
B
11.1 x 1010
C
1 x 109
D
111 x 1010
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Decay constant =0.005sec1=λ
Activity of nuclei =15×3.7×107dps[1millicurie=3.7×107dps]
=5.55×108dps
