Question 3

A sample of a radioactive isotope used in medical diagnostics has a half-life of TTT. During a storage period of t=6Tt = 6Tt=6T, a total of Nd N_d\,Nd​ nuclei decay.

Which of the following represents the number of active (undecayed) nuclei N N\,N remaining in the sample at the end of this storage period?

Nd64\frac{N_d}{64}64Nd​​

Nd63\frac{N_d}{63}63Nd​​

Nd31\frac{N_d}{31}31Nd​​
