Write the definition and unit of decay constant.
The graph shows the $\log$ of activity $\log R$ of a radioactive material as a function of time $t$ in minutes.The half-life (in minute) for the decay is closest to
Give the different units of radioactivity and define them.
The rate of radioactive disintegration at an instant for a radioactive sample of half life $2.2 \times 10^9 \;s$ is $10^{10}\; s ^{-1}$. The number of radioactive atoms in that sample at that instant is,
Write down the definition and formula of half life of radioactive substance.
A radioactive substance is being produced at a constant rate of $10\, nuclei/s.$ The decay constant of the substance is $1/2\, sec^{-1}.$ After what time the number of radioactive nuclei will become $10$ $?$ Initially there are no nuclei present. Assume decay law holds for the sample.
