Assertion (A): Two different radioactive substances have initially same number of nuclei. Their decay constants are λ1\lambda_{1} and λ2(<λ1)\lambda_2\left( < \lambda_1\right), then initially first radioactive substance decays at faster rate.
Reason (R): Half-life of first radioactive substance is more.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false
Option C is correct because while the first substance decays faster initially due to a larger decay constant, its half-life is shorter, not longer.
