Define the average life of a radioactive substance.
Radioactivity was discovered by
The half-life period of radium is $1600 $ years. Its average life time will be.......years
Samples of two radioactive nuclides, $X$ and $Y$, each have equal activity $A_0$ at time $t = 0$ . $X$ has a half life of $24$ years and $Y$ a half life of $16$ years. The samples are mixed together.What will be the total activity of the mixture at $t = 48$ years ?
A freshly prepared radioactive source of half life $2$ hours $30$ minutes emits radiation which is $64$ times the permissible safe level. The minimum time, after which it would be possible to work safely with source, will be hours.
A radioactive substance decays to $\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{t h}$ of its initial activity in $80\, days.$ The half life of the radioactive substance expressed in days is ... .
