Geiger nuttal law.
Geiger & nuttal measured the range of alpha particles emitted by several radioactive elements & found that there exists a regular relationship between the ranges & the half lives of the elements. The relationship is expressed as
log10(λ)=A+Blog10(R)
Where, R=Range of alpha particles
λ=disintegration constant
A & B = constant
★ Geiger nuttal law in terms of energy
log10(λ)=K+Clog10(E)
Where,E=energy of alpha particles
K & C = constant
★ shorter half lives alpha particles have greater kinetic energy.while longer half lives alpha particles have lower kinetic energy.
