Carbon dating is best suited for determining the age of fossils if their age in years is of the order of

Number of nuclei of a radioactive substance at time $t = 0$ are $1000$ and $900$ at time $t = 2 \, s$. Then number of nuclei at time $t = 4 \, s$ will be

If $96.875 \%$ of a radioactive substance decays in $10 \text{ days}$, then the half life of the substance is (in days)

$x$ fraction of a radioactive sample decays in $t$ time. What fraction will decay in $2t$ time?

At a given instant,there are $25\%$ undecayed radioactive nuclei in a sample. After $10 \, s$,the number of undecayed nuclei reduces to $6.25\%$. The mean life of the nuclei is...........$ s$.

Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ contain the same number of nuclei. If $6\lambda \, s^{-1}$ and $4\lambda \, s^{-1}$ are the decay constants of $X_1$ and $X_2$ respectively,the ratio of the number of undecayed nuclei of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ will be $\left( \frac{1}{e} \right)$ after a time:
