A radioactive reaction is $_{92}{U^{238}}{ \to _{82}}P{b^{206}}$. How many $\alpha $ and $\beta $ particles are emitted
$10\alpha ,\;6\beta $
$4$ protons, $ 8$ neutrons
$6$ electrons, $8$ protons
$6\beta ,\;8\alpha $
At $t = 0$, number of active nuclei in a sample is $N_0$. How much no. of nuclei will decay in time between its first mean life and second half life?
A radioactive isotope has a half-life of $T$ years. How long will it take the activity to reduce to $(a)$ $3.125\% $ $(b)$ $1\% $ of its original value?
$\beta$- rays emitted by a radioactive material are
An archaeologist analyses the wood in a prehistoric structure and finds that $C^{14}$ (Half life $= 5700\, years$) to $C^{12}$ is only one-fourth of that found in the cells of buried plants. The age of the wood is about ..........$years$
The average life $T$ and the decay constant $\lambda $ of a radioactive nucleus are related as
