How much mass of uranium to be destroyed per minute to operate a nuclear reactor of $600\,MW$
The half-life of radium is about $1600$ years. Of $100\, g$ of radium existing now, $25\, g$ will remain unchanged after .......... $years$
In a radioactive decay process, the activity is defined as $A=-\frac{\mathrm{d} N}{\mathrm{~d} t}$, where $N(t)$ is the number of radioactive nuclei at time $t$. Two radioactive sources, $S_1$ and $S_2$ have same activity at time $t=0$. At a later time, the activities of $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $A_1$ and $A_2$, respectively. When $S_1$ and $S_2$ have just completed their $3^{\text {rd }}$ and $7^{\text {th }}$ half-lives, respectively, the ratio $A_1 / A_2$ is. . . . . . .
In a radioactive sample, ${ }_{10}^a K$ nuclei either decay into stable ${ }_{20}^{* 0} Ca$ nuclei with decay constant $4.5 \times 10^{-10}$ per year or into stable ${ }_{18}^{40}$ Ar muclei with decay constant $0.5 \times 10^{-10}$ per year. Given that in this sample all the stable ${ }_{20}^{\infty 0} Ca$ and ${ }_{15}^{20} Ar$ nuclei are produced by the ${ }_{19}^{* 0} K$ muclei only. In time $t \times 10^{\circ}$ years, if the ratio of the sum of stable ${ }_{30}^{40} Ca$ and ${ }_{15} \operatorname{An}$ nuclei to the radioactive ${ }_{19} K$ muclei is $99$ , the ralue of $t$ will be : [Given $\ln 10=2.3]$
Half lives of two radioactive substances $A$ and $B$ are respectively $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes. Initially the sample of $A$ and $B$ have equal number of nuclei. After $80$ minutes, the ratio of remaining number of $A$ and $B$ nuclei is
