Consider two nuclei of the same radioactive nuclide. One of the nuclei was created in a supernova explosion $5$ billion years ago. The other was created in a nuclear reactor $5$ minutes ago. The probability of decay during the next time interval is

The specific activity of radium is close to:

${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. $A$ rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ to ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$,then what is the value of $Z$?

If the decay or disintegration constant of a radioactive substance is $\lambda$,then its half-life and mean life are respectively:

After $280$ days,the activity of a radioactive sample is $6000 \, dps$. The activity reduces to $3000 \, dps$ after another $140$ days. The initial activity of the sample in $dps$ is

Two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ having decay constants $7 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively,initially have the same number of nuclei. The time taken for the ratio of the number of nuclei of material $B$ to that of $A$ to be $e$ is:
