The activity $R$ of an unknown radioactive nuclide is measured at hourly intervals. The results found are tabulated as follows:

$t(h)$ $0$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$
$R(MBq)$ $100$ $35.36$ $12.51$ $4.42$ $1.56$

$(i)$ Plot the graph of $R$ versus $t$ and calculate half-life from the graph.

$(ii)$ Plot the graph of $\ln \left( {\frac{R}{{{R_0}}}} \right) \to t$ versus $t$ and obtain the value of half-life from the graph.

A radioactive isotope $X$ with a half-life of $1.37 \times {10^9}$ years decays to $Y$ which is stable. A sample of rock from the moon was found to contain both the elements $X$ and $Y$ which were in the ratio of $1 : 7$. The age of the rock is

A radioactive sample decays by two modes by $\alpha $ decay and by $\beta -decay$. $66.6 \%$ of times it decays by $\alpha -decay$ and $33.3 \%$ of times, it decays by $\beta -decay$. If half life of sample is $60$ years then what will be half life of sample, if it decays only by $\alpha - decay$. ............ $years$
