- #26The half-life of a radioisotope is 10 h. Find the total number of disintegration in the tenth hour measured from a time when the activity was 1 Ci.Ans : Given:
Half-life of radioisotope, `` {T}_{1/2}`` = 10 hrs
Initial activity, A0 = 1 Ci
Disintegration constant, `` \lambda =\frac{0.693}{10\times 3600}{\,\mathrm{\,s\,}}^{-1}``
Activity of radioactive sample, `` A={A}_{0}{e}^{-\lambda t}``
