In relation, which quantity is represented by λ?
Correct answer: A. Decay constant
- A. Decay constant
- B. Half life
- C. Activity
- D. Wavelength
Explanation
Explanation is given below.T1/2 represents the 'half-life' with 'T', implying the quantity has something to do with time, and '1/2' representing 'half'.
