The relation between $\lambda$ and $T_{1/2}$ is ($T_{1/2} = \text{half-life}$,$\lambda = \text{decay constant}$)

  • A
    $\left(\lambda + T_{1/2}\right) = \frac{\ln 2}{2}$
  • B
    $T_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}$
  • C
    $T_{1/2} \cdot \ln 2 = \lambda$
  • D
    $T_{1/2} = \frac{1}{\lambda}$

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $N_0$ counts per minute at time $t=0$,and $\frac{N_0}{e}$ counts per minute at time $t=3$ minutes. The activity reduces to half its value in time (in minutes) is:

At time $t = 0$,the mass of a radioactive element sample is $10 \, g$. After a time interval equal to two mean lives,what mass of the sample will approximately remain in $g$?

The half-life of $Bi^{210}$ is $5 \ days$. What time is taken by $(7/8)^{th}$ part of the sample to decay?

Activity of a radioactive sample decreases to $(1/4)^{th}$ of its original value in $4 \text{ days}$. Then in $16 \text{ days}$ its activity will become $x$ times the original value. The value of $x$ is
