If the mass of a radioactive sample is doubled, the activity of the sample and the disintegration constant of the sample are respectively
Increases, remains the same
Decreases, increases
Decreases, remains same
Increases, decreases
Give the equation form of exponential law.
A certain radioactive material can undergo three different types of decay, each with a different decay constant $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$ . Then the effective decay constant is
In a radioactive substance at $t = 0$, the number of atoms is $8 \times {10^4}$. Its half life period is $3$ years. The number of atoms $1 \times {10^4}$ will remain after interval ...........$years$
The activity of a radioactive sample is $1.6\, curie$ and its half-life is $2.5 \,days$. Its activity after $10\, days$ will be .......... $curie$
An archaeologist analyses the wood in a prehistoric structure and finds that $C^{14}$ (Half life $= 5700\, years$) to $C^{12}$ is only one-fourth of that found in the cells of buried plants. The age of the wood is about ..........$years$
