Question 86

A nuclide has a half-life of 300 μs300\ \mu\text{s}300 μs. The decay constant for this nuclide lies between:

A

101 s−110^1\text{ s}^{-1}101 s−1 and 102 s−110^2\text{ s}^{-1}102 s−1

B

102 s−110^2\text{ s}^{-1}102 s−1 and 103 s−110^3\text{ s}^{-1}103 s−1

C

103 s−110^3\text{ s}^{-1}103 s−1 and 104 s−110^4\text{ s}^{-1}104 s−1

D

104 s−110^4\text{ s}^{-1}104 s−1 and 105 s−110^5\text{ s}^{-1}105 s−1
