Obtain the amount of $_{27}^{60} Co$ necessary to provide a radioactive source of $8.0\; mCi$ strength. The half-life of $^{60}_{27} Co$ is $5.3$ years.
The activity of a sample is $64 × 10^{-5}\, Ci.$ Its half-life is $3\, days$. The activity will become $5 × 10^{-6}\, Ci$ after .........$days$
The initial activity of a certain radioactive isotope was measured as $16000\ counts\ min^{-1}$. Given that the only activity measured was due to this isotope and that its activity after $12\, h$ was $2000\ counts\ min^{-1}$, its half-life, in hours, is nearest to
Half life of a radioactive element is $10\, days$. The time during which quantity remains $1/10$ of initial mass will be .........$days$
Activity of a radioactive sample decreases to $(1/3)^{rd}$ of its original value in $3\, days$. Then, in $9\, days$ its activity will become
