The activity of a sample reduces from $A_0$ to ${A_0} / \sqrt{3}$ in one hour. The activity after $3$ hours more will be
$\frac{{{A_0}}}{{3\sqrt 3 }}$
$\frac{{{A_0}}}{{9 }}$
$\frac{{{A_0}}}{{9\sqrt 3 }}$
$\frac{{{A_0}}}{{27}}$
A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life $T$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is $12.5 \%$ of the electrical power available form the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $n T$ years, then the value of $n$ is
A radioactive isotope has a half-life of $T$ years. How long will it take the activity to reduce to $(a)$ $3.125\% $ $(b)$ $1\% $ of its original value?
Given below are two statements :
Statement $I:$ The law of radioactive decay states that the number of nuclei undergoing the decay per unit time is inversely proportional to the total number of nuclei in the sample.
Statement $II:$ The half life of a radionuclide is the sum of the life time of all nuclei, divided by the initial concentration of the nuclei at time $t =0$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
A certain radioactive nuclide of mass number $m_x$ disintegrates, with the emission of an electron and $\gamma$ radiation only, to give second nuclied of mass number $m_y.$ Which one of the following equation correctly relates $m_x$ and $m_y$ ?
The curve between the activity $A$ of a radioactive sample and the number of active atoms $N$ is
