The activity of a freshly prepared radioactive sample is $10^{10}$ disintegrations per second, whose mean life is $10^9 s$. The mass of an atom of this radioisotope is $10^{-25} kg$. The mass (in $mg$ ) of the radioactive sample is

Which of the following cannot be emitted by radioactive substances during their decay

The activity of a radioactive sample is $1.6\, curie$ and its half-life is $2.5 \,days$. Its activity after $10\, days$ will be .......... $curie$

In a radioactive decay process, the activity is defined as $A=-\frac{\mathrm{d} N}{\mathrm{~d} t}$, where $N(t)$ is the number of radioactive nuclei at time $t$. Two radioactive sources, $S_1$ and $S_2$ have same activity at time $t=0$. At a later time, the activities of $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $A_1$ and $A_2$, respectively. When $S_1$ and $S_2$ have just completed their $3^{\text {rd }}$ and $7^{\text {th }}$ half-lives, respectively, the ratio $A_1 / A_2$ is. . . . . . .

The count rate for $10\  g$ of radioactive material was measured at different times and this has been shown in the graph with scale given. The half life of the material and the total count in the first half value period respectively are

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
