Two samples $A$ and $B$ contain equal amount of radioactive substances. If $(1/8)^{th}$ of sample $A$ and $(1/128)^{th}$ of sample $B$ remain after $9 \text{ hours}$, then the ratio of half-life period of $B$ to that of $A$ is

The percentage of ${}^{235}U$ presently on Earth is $0.72\%$ and the rest $(99.28\%)$ may be taken to be ${}^{238}U$. Assume that all uranium on Earth was produced in a supernova explosion long ago with the initial ratio ${}^{235}U / {}^{238}U = 2.0$. How long ago did the supernova event occur? (Take the half-lives of ${}^{235}U$ and ${}^{238}U$ to be $7.1 \times 10^8$ years and $4.5 \times 10^9$ years respectively).

Starting with a sample of pure ${}^{66}Cu$,$\frac{7}{8}$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15 \ minutes$. The corresponding half-life is .......... $minutes$.

The plot of the number $(N)$ of undecayed atoms versus activity $(A)$ of a radioactive substance is

For a radioactive material,its activity $A$ and rate of change of its activity $R$ are defined as $A = -\frac{dN}{dt}$ and $R = -\frac{dA}{dt}$,where $N(t)$ is the number of nuclei at time $t$. Two radioactive sources $P$ (mean life $\tau$) and $Q$ (mean life $2\tau$) have the same activity at $t = 0$. Their rates of change of activities at $t = 2\tau$ are $R_P$ and $R_Q$,respectively. If $\frac{R_P}{R_Q} = \frac{n}{e}$,then the value of $n$ is
