If -((dN)/(dt))_(o) is the initial activity and -((dN)/(dt)) is the activity at time t in a radioactive disintegration then :

The graph between the instantaneous concentration (N) of a radioactive element and time (t) is.

The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is 50 days. The time interval (t_2 -t_1) between the time t_2 when (2)/(3) of it has decayed and the time t_1 when (1)/(3) of it had decayed is

Nuclei of radioactive element A are produced at rate t^(2) (where t is time) at any time t . The element A has decay constant lambda . Let N be the number of nuclei of element A at any time t . At time t=t_(0), dN//dt is minimum. The number of nuclei of element A at time t=t_(0) is

Nuclei of a radioactive element X are being produced at a constant rate K and this element decays to a stable nucleus Y with a decay constant lambda and half-life T_(1//3) . At the time t=0 , there are N_(0) nuclei of the element X. The number N_(Y) of nuclei of Y at time t is .

At t=0 , number of radioactive nuclei of a radioactive substance are x and its radioactivity is y. Half-life of radioactive substance is T. Then,
