In a fossil bone,the ratio of $^{14}C : ^{12}C$ is $1/16$ of the ratio found in a living animal. If the half-life of $^{14}C$ is $5730 \text{ years}$,find the age of the fossil bone in years.

$A$ radioactive material whose half-life period is $2$ years weighs $1 \,g$ and is stored in the laboratory for $4$ years. Then the amount of remaining radioactive material is (in $\,g$)

Half-lives of two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ are $30 \text{ minute}$ and $60 \text{ minute}$ respectively. Initially,the samples have an equal number of nuclei. After $120 \text{ minute}$,the ratio of the number of decayed nuclei of $B$ to that of $A$ will be:

Half-lives for $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emission of a radioactive material are $16$ years and $48$ years respectively. When the material decays by giving $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emission simultaneously,the time in which $3/4$th of the material decays is ....... years.

The activity of a radioactive sample falls from $700 \; s^{-1}$ to $500 \; s^{-1}$ in $30 \; min$. Its half-life is close to ......... $min$.

After five half-lives,what will be the fraction of the initial substance remaining?
