The activities of three radioactive substances $A, B$ and $C$ are represented by the curves $A, B$ and $C$ in the figure. Then their half-lives $T_{\frac{1}{2}}(A) : T_{\frac{1}{2}}(B) : T_{\frac{1}{2}}(C)$ are in the ratio:

If the half-life of a radioactive sample is $10\, hours$,its mean life is .......... $hours$.

Half-lives of two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ are $20 \ min$ and $40 \ min$,respectively. Initially,the samples have equal number of nuclei. After $80 \ min$,the ratio of decayed number of $A$ and $B$ nuclei will be

The graph represents the decay of a newly prepared sample of radioactive nuclide $X$ to a stable nuclide $Y$. The half-life of $X$ is $\tau$. The growth curve for $Y$ intersects the decay curve for $X$ after time $T$. What is the time $T$?

The half-life of a radioactive isotope $X$ is $20$ years. It decays to another element $Y$,which is stable. The two elements $X$ and $Y$ were found to be in the ratio $1:7$ in a sample of a given rock. The age of the rock is estimated to be:
