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.
