If the decay constant of a radioactive substance is 0.231s1, the half-life is?

If the decay constant of a radioactive substance is 0.231s1, the half-life is?
  • A.
    3.00 s
  • B.
    0.12 s
  • C.
    0.33 s
  • D.
    1.50 s
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Half-life, T (1)/2 = (0.693)/∆ = (0.693)/ 0.231 = 3.0sec
