Let `lambda_(p)` and `lambda_(d)` be the decay constants of the parent and the daughter nuclei.If `N_(P)` and `N_(d)` be the number of parent and daughter nuclei at time `t` the condition that the daughter nuclei become constant is : `1) lambda_(p)N_(p)=lambda_(d)N_(d)` ` 2) lambda_(p)N_(d)=lambda_(d)N_(p) ` ` 3) lambda_(p)lambda_(d)=N_(p)N_(d)` 4) None of these

Suppose, the daughter nucleus in a nuclear decay is itself radioactive. Let lambda_p and lambda_d be the decay constants of the parent and the daughter nuclei. Also, let N_p and N_d be the number of parent and daughter nuclei at time t . Find the condition for which the number of daughter nuclei becomes constant.

A particular type of nucleus whose decay constant is lambda is produced at a steady rate of p nuclei per second. Show that the number of nuclei N present t second after the production starts is N=(P)/(lambda)[1-e^(~lambdat)] .

Both the nucleus and the atom of some element are in their respective first excited states. They get de-excited by emitting photons of wavelengths lambda_(N) ,lambda_(A) respectively. The ratio (lambda_(N))/(lambda_(A)) is closest to :
