    The rate of disintegration of fixed quantity of a radioactive element can be increased by

    A)  increasing temperature

    B)  increasing the pressure

    C)  chemical reaction

    D)  it is not possible

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In radioactivity, rate of disintegration cannot be increased. Rate of disintegration \[\frac{dN}{dt}=-\lambda N\] \[\lambda ,\] = decay constant, N = initial amount. If N is fixed. Then, \[\frac{dN}{dt}=\] constant Rate of disintegration does not depend upon external fraction.
