Question
At time t = 0, N1 nuclei of decay constant λ1 & N2 nuclei of decay constant λ2 are mixed. The decay rate of the mixture is
Options
A.N1N2e-(λ1 +λ2)t
B.+ 
e-(λ1 +λ2)t
e-(λ1 +λ2)tC.+ (N1λ1e-λ1t + N2λ2e-λ2t)
D.+ N1λ1 N2λ2
Solution
= λ1N1 + λ2N2 ⇒ λ1n10 e-λ1t + λ2N20 e-λ2tCreate a free account to view solution
