The rate of disintegration of fixed quantity of a radioactive element can be increased by
Two radioactive substances $X$ and $Y$ originally have $N _{1}$ and $N _{2}$ nuclei respectively. Half life of $X$ is half of the half life of $Y$. After three half lives of $Y$, number of nuclei of both are equal. The ratio $\frac{ N _{1}}{ N _{2}}$ will be equal to
The rate of disintegration of fixed quantity of a radioactive element can be increased by
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
The phenomenon of radioactivity is
