The fraction $f$ of radioactive material that has decayed in time $t$, varies with time $t$. The correct variation is given by the curve
$A$
$B$
$C$
$D$
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 :
Define the average life of a radioactive sample and obtain its relation to decay constant and half life.
Two radioactive substances $X$ and $Y$ originally have $N _{1}$ and $N _{2}$ nuclei respectively. Half life of $X$ is half of the half life of $Y$. After three half lives of $Y$, number of nuclei of both are equal. The ratio $\frac{ N _{1}}{ N _{2}}$ will be equal to
What fraction of a radioactive material will get disintegrated in a period of two half-lives
In Fig. $X$ represents time and $Y$ represent activity of a radioactive sample. Then the activity of sample, varies with time according to the curve
