A radioactive nuclide is produced at the constant rate of n per second (say, by bombarding a target with neutrons). The expected number N of nuclei in existence t s after the number is N_(0) is given by

All radioactive elements which emit beta- rays have the same half - life periods.

Uranium- 238 decays to thorium- 234 with half-life 5xx10^(9) yr . The resulting nucleus is in the excited state and hence further emits gamma -rays to come to the ground state. It emits 20 gamma -rays per second. The emission rate will drop to 5 gamma -rays per second in
