The variation of decay rate of two radioactive samples A and B with time is shown in figure.
Which of the following statements is/are true?
- Decay constant of A is greater than that of B, hence A always decays faster than B.
- Decay constant of A is greater than that of B, but it does not always decays faster than B.
- Decay constant of B is smaller than that of A but still its decay rate becomes equal to that
of A at a later instant. Both (b) and (c).
Answer
(D) Both (b) and (c).
