The half-life of a radioactive isotope X is 50 yr.
It decays to another element Y which is stable.
The two elements X and Y were found to be in
the ratio of 1:15 in a sample of a given rock.
The age of rock was estimated to be
1. 200 yr
2. 250 yr
3. 100 yr
4. 150 yr
Fusion reaction takes place at a higher temperature because:
1. | atoms get ionized at high temperatures. |
2. | kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nuclei. |
3. | molecules break up at a high temperature. |
4. | nuclei break up at a high temperature. |
