The average life $T$ and the decay constant $\lambda $ of a radioactive nucleus are related as
$T\lambda = 1$
$T = \frac{{0.693}}{\lambda }$
$\frac{T}{\lambda } = 1$
$T = \frac{C}{\lambda }$
$90\%$ of a radioactive sample is left undecayed after time $t$ has elapsed. What percentage of the initial sample will decay in a total time $2t$ : ..............$\%$
Certain radioactive substance reduces to $25\%$ of its value in $16\ days$. Its half-life is .......... $days$
At some instant, a radioactive sample $S_1$ having an activity $5\,\mu Ci$ has twice the number of nuclei as another sample $S_2$ which has an activity of $10\,\mu Ci.$ The halflives of $S_1$ and $S_2$ are
The count rate of a Geiger- Muller counter for the radiation of a radioactive material of half life of $30\, minutes$ decreases to $5\,{s^{ - 1}}$ after $2\, hours.$ The initial count rate was..........${s^{ - 1}}$
The half life of radium is $1620$ years and its atomic weight is $226\, k\,gm$ per kilomol. The number of atoms that will decay from its $1\, gm$ sample per second will be
(Avogadro's number $N = 6.02 \times {10^{26}}$atom/kilomol)
