1)

The half-life period and the mean life period of a radioactive element are denoted respectively by Th and Tm. Then


A) $T_{h} = T_{m}$

B) $T_{h}>T_{m}$

C) $T_{h}<T_{m}$

D) $T_{h}\geq T_{m}$

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Half-life Th = $\frac{0.693}{\lambda}, T_{m}= \frac{1}{\lambda}$

Clearly, $T_{h}< T_{m}$
