A sample contains $10^{-2}\, kg$ each of two substances A and $B$ with half lives $4 \,s$ and $8 \,s$ respectively. The ratio of then atomic weights is $1: 2$ The ratio of the amounts of $A$ and $B$ after $16 \,s$ is $\frac{x}{100}$. the value of $x$ is........
$55$
$50$
$90$
$150$
A radioactive material has a half-life of $8$ years. The activity of the material will decrease to about $1/8$ of its original value in .......... $years$
A sample of radioactive element containing $4 \times 10^{16}$ active nuclei. Half life of element is $10$ days, then number of decayed nuclei after $30$ days is ........ $\times 10^{16}$
After two hours, one- sixteenth of the starting amount of a certain radioactive isotope remained undecayed. The half life of the isotope is
The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about $15$ decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive $_{6}^{14} C$ present with the stable carbon isotope $_{6}^{12} C$. When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life ($5730$ years) of $_{6}^{14} C ,$ and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of $_{6}^{14} C$ dating used in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of $9$ decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age (in $years$) of the Indus-Valley civilisation
Half life of radioactive element is $12.5\; Hour$ and its quantity is $256\; gm$. After how much time (in $Hours$) its quantity will remain $1 \;gm$
