Radioactive decay is a statisticle process i.e., we cannot precisely predict the timing of a particular radioactivity of a particular nucleus . The nucleus can disintegrate immediately or it may take infinite time . Simply the probability of the number of nuclei being disintegrated at any instant can be predicted . the rate at which a particular decay process in a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of radioactive nuclei present and thus obeys first order kinetics . the factor dN/N expresses the fraction of nuclei decayed in time dt. t_(1//2) is the time in which half of the atoms are decayed and average life is the time for the nucleus to survive before decay . Which of the following relation is correct ? (t_(1//2) and t_(3//4) are time required to complete half and 3/4 decay respectively )

The normal activity of living carbon - containing matter is found to be about 15 decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive ._(6)^(14)C present with the stable carbon isotope ._(6)^(12)C . When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity. ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the know half-life (5730 years.) of ._(6)^(14)C , and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of ._(6)^(14)C dating used in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of 9 decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age of the Indus-Valley civilisation.

Radioactive disintegration is a first order reaction and it's rate depends only upon the nature of nucleus and does not depend upon external factors like temperature and pressure . The rate of radioactive disintegration (Activity) is represented as - (dN)/(dt) = lambda N , Where lambda = decay constant , N number of nuclei at time t , N_(0) = initial no. of nuclei. The above equation after integration can be represented as lambda = (2.303)/(t) "log" ((N_(0))/(N)) Calculate the half-life period of a radioactive element which remains only 1/16 of it's original amount in 4740 years :

The half life of a stream of radioactive particles moving along as straight path with a constant kinetic energy of 4 eV is 1 minute. The percentage of particles which decay before travelling a distance of 3.6 km is (Mass of the radioactive particles = 3 . 2 xx 10 ^(-21) kg and charge of the electron = 1.6 xx 10 ^(-19) C ).
