Write the relation between Half-Life and Mean-Life of radio active element.

Obtain the relation N=N_(0)e^(-lamdat) for a sample of radio active material having decay constant lamda where N is the number of nuclei present at instant t. Hence, obtain the relation between decay constant lamda and half life T_(1//2) of the sample.

Write the relation between average life and decay constant of a radioactive atom.

Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are tau = 1// lambda and t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda . Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after n half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation: N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) Amount of radioactive elements (activity) decreases with passage of time as
