Starting with a sample of pure $^{66}Cu,\,\frac{7}{8}$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\, min$. The corresponding half-life is .......... $min$

For a radioactive material, half-life is $10$ minutes. If initially there are $600$ number of nuclei, the time taken (in minutes) for the disintegration of $450$ nuclei is
The initial activity of a certain radioactive isotope was measured as $16000\ counts\ min^{-1}$. Given that the only activity measured was due to this isotope and that its activity after $12\, h$ was $2000\ counts\ min^{-1}$, its half-life, in hours, is nearest to
The radioactive sources $A$ and $B$ of half lives of $2\, hr$ and $4\, hr$ respectively, initially contain the same number of radioactive atoms. At the end of $2\, hours,$ their rates of disintegration are in the ratio :
$3.8$ days is the half-life period of a sample. After how many days, the sample will become $\frac{{1}}{{8}} \, th$ of the original substance
A radioactive material decays by simultaneous emission of two particles with respective half lives $1620$ and $810$ years. The time (in years) after which one- fourth of the material remains is
