    The relation between the half-life T and mean life t of a radioactive sample is

    A)  T = 0.693 t                          

    B)  t = 0.693 T

    C)  t = t                                      

    D)  t = 2.718 T

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The average of the life of the nuclei is called average life\[\tau \]. The average life of radioactive material is equal to the reciprocal of the decay constant X, ie,           \[\tau =\frac{1}{\lambda }\] But         \[T=\frac{0.693}{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \]  \[T=0.693\,\tau \]
