The radiation emitted by a radioactive substance with a half-life of $30 \ min$ is measured by a Geiger-Muller counter. If the count rate drops to $5 \ \text{disintegrations/sec}$ in $2 \ \text{hours}$, find the initial disintegration rate.

If the half-life of a radioactive atom is $2.3 \, days$,then its decay constant would be

The relation between the mean life time $\tau$ and the half-life time $T_{1/2}$ of a radioactive substance is:

$A$ radioactive nucleus with a decay constant $\lambda = 0.5/s$ is being produced at a constant rate of $P = 100\, nuclei/s$. If at $t = 0$ there were no nuclei,the time when there are $N = 50\, nuclei$ is:

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.
