$A$ and $B$ are two radioactive substances whose half-lives are $1$ and $2$ years respectively. Initially, $10 \, g$ of $A$ and $1 \, g$ of $B$ are taken. The time (approximate) after which they will have the same quantity remaining is ........... $years$.

The half-life of a radioactive element is $20 \, minutes$. What is the time interval (in $minutes$) between $33\%$ decay and $67\%$ decay?

Consider a radioactive nuclide which follows the decay rate given by $A(t) = A_0 2^{-(t/t_0)}$, where $A(t)$ is the fraction of radioactive material remaining after time $t$ from the initial $A_0$ at zero time. Let $A_1$ be the fraction of original activity which remains after $120 \ h$. Likewise, $A_2$ is the fraction of original activity remaining after $200 \ h$. If $A_1/A_2 = 16$, then the half-life $(t_0)$ will be: (in $h$)

If $T$ is the half-life of a radioactive material,then the fraction that would remain after a time $\frac{T}{2}$ is

In a sample of radioactive material,what percentage of the initial number of active nuclei will decay during one mean life?
