Consider a radioactive nucleus $A$ which decays to a stable nucleus $C$ through the following sequence : $A \to B \to C$ Here $B$ is an intermediate nuclei which is also radioactive. Considering that there are $N_0$, atoms of $A$ initially, plot the graph showing the variation of number of atoms of $A$ and $B$ versus time. 

The ratio activity of an element becomes $\frac{{1}}{{64}} th$ of its original value in $60\, sec$. Then the half life period is ............$sec$

Two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ have decay constant $5\lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively.At $t=0$  they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of $A$ to that $B$ will be $(1/e)^2$ after a time interval

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 half-life of a sample of a radioactive substance is $1$ hour. If $8 \times {10^{10}}$ atoms are present at $t = 0$, then the number of atoms decayed in the duration $t = 2$ hour to $t = 4$ hour will be
