Question

I got a 5 out of 7 on this quiz. Please let me know what 2 are wrong and what the correct answers are. Please include explination so I understand for the Exam. Thanks.

QUESTION 1 Select ALL of the correct statements from the following: O The half-life and the decay constant are proportional to each other V The half-life and the decay constant are inversly proportional to each other The half-life is smaller for a faster radioactive decay The decay constant is larger for a faster radioactive decay O The decay constant is larger for a slower radioactive decay The half-life is larger for a faster radioactive decay QUESTION 2 Which one of the following terms does NOT apply to the nuclear forces? weak O long-range strong charge-independent short-range

Explanation / Answer

Q1. The 1st option is also correct as Decay constant= 0.693/half life

Q5: The 3rd option is correct. This is a decay process, whereby an electron is emitted along with an antineutrino.

n p + e + e-
Thus a neutron is converted to a proton inside the nucleus.
