Explanation / Answer

8) Energy of emited photon, E = 5 MeV

= 5*10^6*1.6*10^-19

= 8*10^-13 J

now use, E = h*f

==> f = E/h

= 8*10^-13/(6.626*10^-34)

= 1.21*10^21 s^-1

9)

a) decay constant, lamda = 0.693/half life time

= 0.693/6.05

= 0.114 hour^-1


b) we know, 1 Ci = 3.7*10^10 desentegrations/second

and lamda = 0.114 h^-1

= 0.114/(60*60) s^-1

= 3.17*10^-5 s^-1

Activity, A = lamda*N

==> N = A/lamda

= 1.78*3.7*10^10/(3.17*10^-5)

= 2.08*10^15 nuclie
