In Fig. $X$ represents time and $Y$ represents activity of a radioactive sample. Then the activity of sample, varies with time according to the curve
$A$

Write the law of radioactive decay.
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.
The energy spectrum of $\beta$-particles [number $N(E)$ as a function of $\beta$-energy $E$] emitted from a radioactive source is
A radioactive sample has an average life of $30\, {ms}$ and is decaying. A capacitor of capacitance $200\, \mu\, {F}$ is first charged and later connected with resistor $^{\prime}{R}^{\prime}$. If the ratio of charge on capacitor to the activity of radioactive sample is fixed with respect to time then the value of $^{\prime}R^{\prime}$ should be $....\,\Omega$
Two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ initially have same number of atoms. The half life of $A$ is same as the average life of $B$. If $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ are decay constants of $A$ and $B$ respectively, then choose the correct relation from the given options.
