If $f$ denotes the ratio of the number of nuclei decayed $(N_{d})$ to the number of nuclei at $t=0$ $(N_{0})$,then for a collection of radioactive nuclei,the rate of change of $f$ with respect to time is given as: [$\lambda$ is the radioactive decay constant]

  • A
    $\lambda(1-e^{-\lambda t})$
  • B
    $-\lambda e^{-\lambda t}$
  • C
    $\lambda e^{-\lambda t}$
  • D
    $-\lambda(1-e^{-\lambda t})$
