The mean life of a radioactive material for alpha decay and beta decay are, respectively, $1620$ years and $520$ years. What is the half life of the sample (in years) ?

Give a brief explanation about radioactivity. 

Half-lives of two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ are $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes, respectively. Initially, the samples have equal number of nuclei. After $80$ minutes, the ratio of decayed number of $A$ and $B$ nuclei will be

A sample of radioactive material $A$, that has an activity of $10\, mCi\, (1\, Ci = 3.7 \times 10^{10}\, decays/s)$, has twice the number of nuclei as another sample of different radioactive material $B$ which has an activity of $20\, mCi$. The correct choices for half-lives of $A$ and $B$ would then be respectively

In a radioactive material the activity at time $t_1$ is $R_1$ and at a later time $t_2$ it is $R_2$. If the decay constant of the material is $\lambda$ then

A radio-isotope has a half- life of $5$ years. The fraction of the atoms of this material that would decay in $15$ years will be
