Carbon dating is best suited for determining the age of fossils if their age in years is of the order of
$3.8$ days is the half-life period of a sample. After how many days, the sample will become $\frac{{1}}{{8}} \, th$ of the original substance
Radioactive nuclei that are injected into a patient collect at certain sites within its body, undergoing radioactive decay and emitting electromagnetic radiation. These radiations can then be recorded by a detector. This procedure provides an important diagnostic tool called
The half-life period of a radio-active element $X$ is same as the mean life time of another radio-active element $Y$ Initially they have the same number of atoms. Then
The average life $T$ and the decay constant $\lambda $ of a radioactive nucleus are related as
