Who invented radioactivity ?
The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is $5$ years, The fraction of the original sample that would decay in $15$ years is
Obtain the amount of $_{27}^{60} Co$ necessary to provide a radioactive source of $8.0\; mCi$ strength. The half-life of $^{60}_{27} Co$ is $5.3$ years.
A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life $T$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is $12.5 \%$ of the electrical power available form the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $n T$ years, then the value of $n$ is
The activity of a radioactive material is $2.56 \times 10^{-3} \,Ci$. If the half life of the material is $5$ days, after how many days the activity will become $2 \times 10^{-5} \,Ci$ ?
For a radioactive material, half-life is $10$ minutes. If initially there are $600$ number of nuclei, the time taken (in minutes) for the disintegration of $450$ nuclei is
