The radioactivity of a given sample of whisky due to tritium (half life $12.3$ years) was found to be only $3\%$ of that measured in a recently purchased bottle marked $"7$ years old". The sample must have been prepared about
$220$ years back
$300$ years back
$400$ years back
$70$ years back
Radioactivity was discovered by
Starting with a sample of pure $^{66}Cu,\,\frac{7}{8}$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\, min$. The corresponding half-life is .......... $min$
At any instant the ratio of the amount of radioactive substances is $2 : 1$. If their half lives be respectively $12$ and $16$ hours, then after two days, what will be the ratio of the substances
At a given instant, say $t = 0,$ two radioactive substances $A$ and $B$ have equal activates. The ratio $\frac{{{R_B}}}{{{R_A}}}$ of their activities. The ratio $\frac{{{R_B}}}{{{R_A}}}$ of their activates after time $t$ itself decays with time $t$ as $e^{-3t}.$ If the half-life of $A$ is $ln2,$ the half-life of $B$ is
If one starts with one curie of radioactive substance ($T_{1/2} = 12\,hrs$) the activity left after a period of $1$ week will be about
