There are $10^{10}$ radioactive nuclei in a given radioactive element, Its half-life time is $1\, minute.$ How many nuclei will remain after $30\, seconds?$
$(\sqrt{2}=1.414)$
$2 \times 10^{10}$
$7 \times 10^{9}$
$10^{5}$
$4 \times 10^{10}$
State the relation between average life and decay constant.
In saloons, there is always a characteristics smell due to the ammonia-based chemicals used in hair dyes and other products. Assume the initial concentration of ammonia molecules to be $1000 \,molecules/ m ^3$. Due to air ventilation, the number of molecules leaving in one minute is one tenth of the molecules present at the start of that minute. How long will it take for the concentration of ammonia molecules to reach $1 \,molecule / m ^3$ ?
A radioactive material has a half life of $10$ days. What fraction of the material would remain after $30$ days
The mean life time of a radionuclide, if its activity decrease by $4\%$ for every $1h$ , would be .......... $h$ [product is non-radioactive i.e. stable]
A radioactive material has a half-life of $8$ years. The activity of the material will decrease to about $1/8$ of its original value in .......... $years$
