If half life of radium is $77$ days. Its decay constant in day will be
In a radioactive material, fraction of active material remaining after time $t$ is $\frac{9}{16}$ The fraction that was remaining after $\frac{t}{2}$ is
Consider a radioactive material of half-life $1.0 \, minute$. If one of the nuclei decays now, the next one will decay
A radioactive sample consists of two distinct species having equal number of atoms $N_0$ initially. The mean-life of one species is $\tau $ and of the other is $5\tau $. The decay products in both cases is stable. The total number of radioactive nuclei at $t = 5\tau $ is
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.
