Read the following SAT test question and thenclick on a button to select your answer.
During the process of radioactive decay, a "parent" material produces a new "daughter" material, whichfurther decays into a stable material. During an experiment involving radioactive decay, themass M, in micrograms, of daughter material changes over time t, measured in hours asshown in the graph above. What is the significance of the point shown on the graph?
Choice D is correct. The point indicated is the highest point on the graph. Since t represents the time in hours since the daughter material was created and M represents the mass of the daughter material, the point shows the values of t and M when M is greatest. Therefore, the point shows the maximum mass of the produced substance and the number of hours since it was created that its mass reached this maximum.
