To find the rate of disintegration per second (dps) for the isotope Carbon-11 (C-11), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the decay constant (λ) The decay constant (λ) can be calculated using the half-life (t₁/₂) of the isotope. The formula for the decay constant is: \[ \lambda = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}} ...

The half life of ._38Sr^(90) is 28 years. What is disintegration rate of 15g of this isotope?

The activity of a nucleus is inversely proportional to its half of average life. Thus, shorter the half life of an element, greater is its radioactivity, i.e., greater the number of atomsd disintegrating per second. The relation between half life and average life is t_(1//2) = (0.693)/(lambda) = tau xx 0.693 or tau = 1.44 t_(1//2) The half life of a radioactive element is 10 years.

Nuceli A and B convert into a stable nucleus C . Nucleus A is converted into C by emitting 2 alpha particels and 3 beta -particles. Nucleus B is converted into C by emitting one alpha -particle and 5 beta -particles. At time t=0 , nuclei of A are 4N_(0) and nuceli of B are N_(0) . Initially, number of nuclei of C are zero. Half-life of A (into conservation of C ) is 1 min and that of B is 2 min . Find the time (in minutes) at which rate of disintegration of A and B are equal.

Radioactive carbon dating can determine how long ago an organism lived by measuring how much of thte ""^(14) C in the sample has decayed. ""^(14)C is an isotope of carbon that has a half-life of 5,600 years.Half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the original amount to decay. If a sample of a petrified tree contains 6.25 percent of its original ""^(14)C, how long ago did the tree die ?

Ram was a daily wage worker in a factory. He was suffering from Cancer. On hearing this, most of his co-workers, started avoiding him under the impression that it was a contagious disease. When Prof. Srivastava came to know about this, case, he took him to a leading radiologist, who examined him and told that it was at the beginning stage. He advised that it could be easily cured and also certified that it was not a communicable disease. After this, Ram was given proper treatment by the doctor and got cured completely.
