Radioactive nuclei that are injected into a patient collect at certain sites within its body, undergoing radioactive decay and emitting electromagnetic radiation. These radiations can then be recorded by a detector. This procedure provides an important diagnostic tool called

A sample initially contains only $U -238$ isotope of uranium. With time, some of the $U -238$ radioactively decays into $Pb -206$ while the rest of it remains undisintegrated.

When the age of the sample is $P \times 10^8$ years, the ratio of mass of $Pb -206$ to that of $U -238$ in the sample is found to be $7$ . The value of $P$ is. . . . . .

[Given : Half-life of $U-238$ is $4.5 \times 10^9$ years; $\log _e 2=0.693$ ]
