$A$ radioactive element has a half-life of $15$ years. What is the fraction that will decay in $30$ years?

$A$ radioactive sample is undergoing $\alpha$ decay. At any time $t_{1}$,its activity is $A$ and at another time $t_{2}$,the activity is $\frac{A}{5}$. What is the average life time for the sample?

The radioactive sources $A$ and $B$ have half-lives of $2 \ hr$ and $4 \ hr$ respectively,and initially contain the same number of radioactive atoms. At the end of $2 \ hr$,their rates of disintegration are in the ratio:

$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is

The activity of a sample of radioactive material is $A_1$ at time $t_1$ and $A_2$ at time $t_2$ $(t_2 > t_1)$. If its mean life is $T$,then which of the following is true?

$A$ radioactive substance is being produced at a constant rate of $10 \text{ nuclei/s}$. The decay constant of the substance is $0.5 \text{ s}^{-1}$. After what time will the number of radioactive nuclei become $10$? Initially,there are no nuclei present. Assume the decay law holds for the sample.
