Using a nuclear counter the count rate of emitted particles from a radioactive source is measured. At t = 0 seconds it was 25600 counts per second and t = 8 seconds it was 100 counts per second. The count rate observed, as counts per second, at t = 6 seconds is close to:

Using a nuclear counter the count rate of emitted particles from a radioactive source is measured. At t=0 it was 1600 counts per second and t = 8 seconds it was 100 counts per second. The count rate observed, as counts per seconds, at t=6, seconds is close to :

A counter rate metre is used to measure the activity of a radioactive sample. At a certain instant, the count rate was recorded as 400 counters per minute. Five minutes later, the count recorded was 200 counts per min. Calculate the decay and half-period of the sample.
