A source contains two phosphorous radio nuclides $_{15}^{32} P \left(T_{1 / 2}=14.3 d \right)$ and $_{15}^{33} P \left(T_{1 / 2}=25.3 d \right) .$ Initially, $10 \%$ of the decays come from $_{15}^{33} P$ How long one must wait until $90 \%$ do so?
The activity of a radioactive sample falls from $700 \;\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ to $500\; \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ in $30\;min$. Its half life is close to.........$min$
The half-life of a particle of mass $1.6 \times 10^{-26} \,kg$ is $6.9 \,s$ and a stream of such particles is travelling with the kinetic energy of a particle being $0.05 \,eV$. The fraction of particles which will decay, when they travel a distance of $1 \,m$ is
The decay constant of a radioactive element is $0.01$ per second. Its half life period is .......$sec$
A radioactive substance is being produced at a constant rate of $10\, nuclei/s.$ The decay constant of the substance is $1/2\, sec^{-1}.$ After what time the number of radioactive nuclei will become $10$ $?$ Initially there are no nuclei present. Assume decay law holds for the sample.
