In a mean life of a radioactive sample
About $1/3$ of substance disintegrates
About $2/3$ of the substance disintegrates
About $90\%$ of the substance disintegrates
Almost all the substance disintegrates
The activity of a sample of a radioactive material is ${A_1}$ at time ${t_1}$ and ${A_2}$ at time ${t_2}$ $({t_2} > {t_1}).$ If its mean life $T$, then
A sample of a radioactive nucleus $A$ disintegrates to another radioactive nucleus $B$, which in turn disintegrates to some other stable nucleus $C.$ Plot of a graph showing the variation of number of atoms of nucleus $B$ vesus time is :
(Assume that at ${t}=0$, there are no ${B}$ atoms in the sample)
How long can an electric lamp of $100\; W$ be kept glowing by fusion of $2.0 \;kg$ of deuterium? Take the fusion reaction as
$_{1}^{2} H+_{1}^{2} H \rightarrow_{2}^{3} H e+n+3.27 \;M e V$
A radio nuclide $A_1$ with decay constant $\lambda_1$ transforms into a radio nuclide $A_2$ with decay constant $\lambda_2$ . If at the initial moment the preparation contained only the radio nuclide $A_1$, then the time interval after which the activity of the radio nuclide $A_2$ reaches its maximum value is :-
The activity $R$ of an unknown radioactive nuclide is measured at hourly intervals. The results found are tabulated as follows:
$t(h)$ | $0$ | $1$ | $2$ | $3$ | $4$ |
$R(MBq)$ | $100$ | $35.36$ | $12.51$ | $4.42$ | $1.56$ |
$(i)$ Plot the graph of $R$ versus $t$ and calculate half-life from the graph.
$(ii)$ Plot the graph of $\ln \left( {\frac{R}{{{R_0}}}} \right) \to t$ versus $t$ and obtain the value of half-life from the graph.
