Why radioactivity is considered a nuclear phenomenon ?
The graph in figure shows how the count-rate $A$ of a radioactive source as measured by a Geiger counter varies with time $t.$ The relationship between $A$ and $t$ is : $($ Assume $ln\,\, 12 = 2.6)$
The activity of a radioactive sample is $1.6\, curie$ and its half-life is $2.5 \,days$. Its activity after $10\, days$ will be .......... $curie$
A piece of bone of an animal from a ruin is found to have $^{14}C$ activity of $12$ disintegrations per minute per gm of its carbon content. The $^{14}C$ activity of a living animal is $16$ disintegrations per minute per gm. How long ago nearly did the animal die? ............$years$ (Given halflife of $^{14}C$ is $t_{1/2} = 5760\,years$ )
Unit of radioactivity is Rutherford. Its value is
A radioactive element has half life period $800$ years. After $6400$ years what amount will remain?
