State the law of radioactive decay. Plot a graph showing the number (N) of undecayed nuclei as a function of time (t) for a given radioactive sample having half life `T_(1//2)`
Depict in the plot the number of undecayed nuclei at
(i) `t=3T_(1//2)` and (ii) `t=5T_(1//2)`.

A radioactive sample of half life T_((1)/(2)) contains 1000 nuclei. How many members will be left after a time t=(T//8) ?

The decay constant of a radioactive sample is lamda. Its half -life is T_(1//2) and mean life is T.

The rate of decay of a radioactive sampel is given by R_(1) at time t_(1) and R_(2) at a later time. t_(2) . The mean life of this radioactive sample is:
