Which of the following correctly gives the relation between the half-life
T
1
/
2
T_{1/2}
T
1/2
of a radioactive isotope and its decay constant
λ
\lambda
λ
? a)
T
1
/
2
=
1
λ
T_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{\lambda}
T
1/2
=
λ
1
b)
T
1
/
2
=
2.303
λ
T_{1/2}=\dfrac{2.303}{\lambda}
T
1/2
=
λ
2.303
c)
T
1
/
2
=
0.693
λ
T_{1/2}=\dfrac{0.693}{\lambda}
T
1/2
=
λ
0.693
d)
T
1
/
2
=
1.44
λ
T_{1/2}=\dfrac{1.44}{\lambda}
T
1/2
=
λ
1.44
