For a radioactive material, its activity A and rate of change of its activity of R are defined as A=(-dN)/(dt) and R=(-dA)/(dt) , where N(t) is the number of nuclei at time t . Two radioactive source P (mean life tau ) and Q (mean life 2 tau ) have the same activity at t=0 . Their rates of activities at t=2 tau are R_(p) and R_(Q) , respectively. If (R_(P))/(R_(Q))=(n)/(e ) , then the value of n is:
