A radioactive sample consists of two isotopes one of then decays by `alpha-` emission with a half life of `tau_(1)=405s` and the other one decays by `beta` emission with half life of `tau_(1)`=1620s`. At time t=0, probabilities of getting `alpha` and `beta` particles from the sample are equal.
(a) If a particle coming out of the sample is detected at t=1620s, what is the probability that it is `alpha` particle?
(b) Find the time when total number of surviving nuclei is half the initial quantity.
Given If `x^(4)+4x-2.5=0` then `x=0.59`
`"log"_(10)2=0.301, "log"_(10)5.9=0.774`

If a variable takes the discrete values `alpha-4`, `alpha -(7)/(2), alpha-(5)/(2), alpha-2,alpha+(1)/(2), alpha-(1)/(2), alpha+5(alpha gt 0)`, then th

Correct Answer - A Arrange the data as follows : `alpha-(7)/(2), alpha-3, alpha-(5)/(2),alpha-2, alpha-(1)/(2),alpha+(1)/(2),alpha+4,alpha+5` Median `=(1)/(2)` [value of 4th item+value of 5th item] `therefore " Median"=(alpha-2+alpha-(1)/(2))/(2)=(2alpha-(5)/(2))/(2)=alpha-(5)/(4)`

If `A(alpha, beta)=[("cos" alpha,sin alpha,0),(-sin alpha,cos alpha,0),(0,0,e^(beta))]`, then `A(alpha, beta)^(-1)` is equal to

Correct Answer - A We have, `A(alpha, beta)^(-1)=1/e^(beta) [(e^(beta) cos alpha,-e^(beta) sin alpha,0),(e^(beta) sin alpha,e^(beta) cos alpha,0),(0,0,1)]` `=A(-alpha, -beta)`
