The radioactivity of a sample is $R_1$ at a time $T_1$ and $R_2$ at a time $T_2$. If the half-life of the specimen is $T$,then the number of atoms that have disintegrated in the time interval $(T_2 - T_1)$ is proportional to

The half-life period of a radioactive element $x$ is the same as the mean life time of another radioactive element $y$. Initially,they have the same number of atoms. Then:

$A$ radioactive sample disintegrates via two independent decay processes having half-lives $T_{1/2}^{(1)}$ and $T_{1/2}^{(2)}$ respectively. The effective half-life $T_{1/2}$ of the nuclei is

Half-life of a radioactive substance is $20 \, min$. The time between $20\%$ and $80\%$ decay will be ......... $min$.

The half-life of a radioactive substance is $20 \, \text{minutes}$. The approximate time interval $(t_2 - t_1)$ between the time $t_2$ when $\frac{3}{4}$ of it has decayed and time $t_1$ when $\frac{1}{4}$ of it has decayed is:
