Write the definition and unit of decay constant.
The half-life of a radioactive substance is $20\, min$. The approximate time interval $\left(t_{2}-t_{1}\right)$ between the time $t_{2},$ when $\frac{2}{3}$ of it has decayed and time $t_{1},$ when $\frac{1}{3}$ of it had decayed is (in $min$)
Let $N_{\beta}$ be the number of $\beta $ particles emitted by $1$ gram of $Na^{24}$ radioactive nucler (half life $= 15\, hrs$) in $7.5\, hours$, $N_{\beta}$ is close to (Avogadro number $= 6.023\times10^{23}\,/g.\, mole$)
A ${\pi ^0}$ at rest decays into $2\gamma $ rays ${\pi ^0} \to \gamma + \gamma $. Then which of the following can happen
Using a nuclear counter the count rate of emitted particles from a radioactive source is measured. At $t = 0$ it was $1600$ counts per second and $t = 8\, seconds$ it was $100$ counts per second. The count rate observed, as counts per second, at $t = 6\, seconds$ is close to
In a radioactive disintegration, the ratio of initial number of atoms to the number of atoms present at an instant of time equal to its mean life is
