100%

b) Suppose a radioactive mineral sample undergoes decay. Originally, it contains Do number
of non-radioactive daughter elements and No number of parent elements. Show that the
expression for total daughter elements present now [i.e., D(t)now], will be a straight line
(called isochron) with respect to the present number of parent elements. (mention the
expression of the slope of the line).

Fermi’s original reactor was just “barely” critical because the natural uranium that he used contained less than 1% of the fissionable isotope U-235 (half-life 713 million years). What if, in 1942, Earth had been 9 billion years old instead of 4.5 billion years old. Would Fermi have been able to make a reactor go critical with natural uranium?

2H is a loosely bound isotope of hydrogen. Calleddeuterium or heavy hydrogen, it is stable but relativelyrare—it is 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuteriumhas Z = N , which should tend to make it more tightlybound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A , thebinding energy per nucleon, for 2H and compare it with theapproximate value obtained from the graph in Figure.
