The half-life of $^{215}At$ is $100\mu s$. The time taken for the radioactivity of a sample of $^{215}At$ to decay to $\frac{{1}}{{16}} \,th$ of its initial value is .........$\mu s$
$400$
$6.3$
$40$
$300$
The half life of a radioactive substance is $20$ minutes. The approximate time interval $(t_2 -t_1)$ between the time $t_2$ when $3/4$ of it has decayed and time $t_1$ when $1/4$ of it had decayed is
Two radioactive isotopes $P$ and $Q$ have half Jives $10$ minutes and $15$ minutes respectively. Freshly prepared samples of each isotope initially gontain the same number of atoms. After $30$ minutes, the ratio $\frac{\text { number of atoms of } P}{\text { number of atoms of } Q}$ will be
Assertion : ${}^{90}Sr$ from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of the production of red blood cells.
Reason : The energetic $\beta - $ particles emitted in the decay of ${}^{90}Sr$ damage the bone marrow
${C^{14}}$ has half life $5700$ years. At the end of $11400$ years, the actual amount left is
Define the average life of a radioactive sample and obtain its relation to decay constant and half life.
