The radioactivity of a sample is R_(1) at a time T_(1) and R_(2) at time T_(2) . If the half-life of the specimen is T, the number of atoms that have disintegrated in the time (T_(2) -T_(1)) is proporational to

The half-life period of radium is 1600 years. Calculate the disintegrationd of radium.

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. What percentage of it will decay in 100 years?
