The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is $100 \,hours.$ The fraction of original activity that will remain after $150\, hours$ would be :
$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{2}{3 \sqrt{2}}$
A radioactive substance emits
A radio isotope has a half life of $75\, years$. The fraction of the atoms of this material that would decay in $150\, years$ will be...........$\%$
${ }^{131} I$ is an isotope of Iodine that $\beta$ decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of $8$ days. A small amount of a serum labelled with ${ }^{131} \mathrm{I}$ is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of ${ }^{131} \mathrm{I}$ injected was $2.4 \times 10^5$ Becquerel $(\mathrm{Bq})$. It is known that the injected serum will get distributed uniformly in the blood stream in less than half an hour. After $11.5$ hours, $2.5 \mathrm{ml}$ of blood is drawn from the person's body, and gives an activity of $115 \mathrm{~Bq}$. The total volume of blood in the person's body, in liters is approximately (you may use $\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}} \approx 1+\mathrm{x}$ for $|\mathrm{x}| \ll 1$ and $\ln 2 \approx 0.7$ ).
The half-life of a radioactive element $A$ is the same as the mean-life of another radioactive element $B.$ Initially both substances have the same number of atoms, then
Starting with a sample of pure ${}^{66}Cu$, $7/8$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\ minutes$ . The it decays into $Zn$ in $15\ minutes$ . The corresponding half-life is ................ $minutes$
