There are $10^{10}$ radioactive nuclei in a given radioactive element, Its half-life time is $1\, minute.$ How many nuclei will remain after $30\, seconds?$
$(\sqrt{2}=1.414)$
$2 \times 10^{10}$
$7 \times 10^{9}$
$10^{5}$
$4 \times 10^{10}$
${C^{14}}$ has half life $5700$ years. At the end of $11400$ years, the actual amount left is
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
The rate of disintegration of fixed quantity of a radioactive element can be increased by
The activity of a freshly prepared radioactive sample is $10^{10}$ disintegrations per second, whose mean life is $10^9 s$. The mass of an atom of this radioisotope is $10^{-25} kg$. The mass (in $mg$ ) of the radioactive sample is
Starting with a sample of pure $^{66}Cu,\,\frac{7}{8}$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\, min$. The corresponding half-life is .......... $min$
