A human body required 0.01 m activity of radioactive substance after 24 hours. Half life of radioactive substance is 6 hours. Then injection of maximum activity of radioactive substance that can be injected is
- 0.08
- 0.04
- 0.16
- 0.32
Answer
(3) 0.16
Solution
Radioactive decay is a first order process.
Number of half-lives, n = 24 h6 h = 4
A = A02n
A0 = A 2n
= 0.01 24
= 0.16
