The unit of radioactivity is Rutherford. Its value is:

If ${N_0}$ is the original mass of the substance of half-life period ${T_{1/2}} = 5 \text{ years}$,then the amount of substance left after $15 \text{ years}$ is

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.

Two radioactive materials $R_1$ and $R_2$ have decay constants $6 \lambda$ and $\lambda$, respectively. The half-life of $R_2$ is $1.4 \times 10^{17} \,s$. Initially, they contain the same number of nuclei. The time at which the ratio of the remaining nuclei of $R_2$ to that of $R_1$ will be $e$ is (Let $\ln 2 = 0.7$):

Write down the definition and formula of half-life of a radioactive substance.

The activity of a sample is $64 \times 10^{-5} \, Ci$. Its half-life is $3 \, days$. The activity will become $5 \times 10^{-6} \, Ci$ after ......... $days$.
