If $f$ denotes the ratio of the number of nuclei decayed $(N_{d})$ to the number of nuclei at $t=0$ $(N_{0})$,then for a collection of radioactive nuclei,the rate of change of $f$ with respect to time is given as: [$\lambda$ is the radioactive decay constant]
- A$\lambda(1-e^{-\lambda t})$
- B$-\lambda e^{-\lambda t}$
- C$\lambda e^{-\lambda t}$
- D$-\lambda(1-e^{-\lambda t})$

View SolutionThere are two radionuclei $A$ and $B.$ $A$ is an alpha emitter and $B$ is a beta emitter. Their disintegration constants are in the ratio of $1 : 2.$ What should be the ratio of the number of atoms of the two at time $t = 0$ so that the probabilities of getting $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles are the same at time $t = 0$?
