A sample contains $16\, gm$ of a radioactive material, the half life of which is two days. After $32\, days,$ the amount of radioactive material left in the sample is
Less than $1\, mg$
$\frac{1}{4}gm$
$\frac{1}{2}gm$
$1\, gm$
The radioactive sources $A$ and $B$ of half lives of $2\, hr$ and $4\, hr$ respectively, initially contain the same number of radioactive atoms. At the end of $2\, hours,$ their rates of disintegration are in the ratio :
Half life of a radio-active substance is $20\, minutes$. The time between $20\%$ and $80\%$ decay will be ........... $minutes$
The graph represents the decay of a newly prepared sample of radioactive nuclide $X$ to a stable nuclide $Y$ . The half-life of $X$ is $\tau $ . The growth curve for $Y$ intersects the decay curve for $X$ after time $T$ . What is the time $T$ ?
The curve between the activity $A$ of a radioactive sample and the number of active atoms $N$ is
Who invented radioactivity ?
