If 4 gm of a radioisotope has a half life period of 10 days, the half life of 2 gm of the same istotope will be ____ days.
A
10
B
20
C
30
D
40
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution: Half life period of a radioisotopes, t1/2=20sec. ∴Nt=0.00312 g(or)3.12 mg.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radioactive half-life is the time required for a quantity of a radioisotope to decay by half. If the half-life of an isotope is relatively short, e.g. a few hours, most of the radioactivity will be gone in a few days.
