A piece of wood from a recently cut tree shows $20\,decays$ per minute. A wooden piece of same size placed in a museum ( obtained from a tree cut many years back) shows $2\,decays$ per minute. If half life of $C^{14}$ is $5730\, years$, then age of the wooden piece placed in the museum is approximately ........... $years$
The half life of radioactive Radon is $3.8\, days$. The time at the end of which $1/20^{th}$ of the Radon sample will remain undecayed is ............ $days$ (Given $log_{10}e = 0.4343$ )
The radioactivity of a sample is $R_1$ at time $T_1$ and $R_2$ at time $T_2.$ If the half life of the specimen is $T.$ Number of atoms that have disintegrated in time $(T_2 - T_1)$ is proportional to
Plutonium decays with a half-life of $24000 \,years$. If the plutonium is stored for $72000 \,years$, then the fraction of plutonium that remains is
Half lives for $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emission of a radioactive material are $16$ years and $48$ years respectively. When material decays giving $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emission simultaneously then time in which $\frac{3}{4}$ th of the material decays is ....... years
