    A radioactive element has half-life period of 600 years. After 3000 years, what amount will remain?

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]               

    B)  \[\frac{1}{16}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{8}\]              

    D)  \[\frac{1}{32}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     We know that \[n=\frac{t}{T}\] Given: \[t=3000\]years,\[T=600\]years Then \[\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{5}}=\frac{1}{32}\]
