The relation between half-life $(T)$ and decay constant $(\lambda)$ is

$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is

The activity of a radioactive material is $2.56 \times 10^{-3} \, Ci$. If the half-life of the material is $5 \, \text{days}$, after how many days will the activity become $2 \times 10^{-5} \, Ci$?

In a radioactive sample,there are $1.414 \times 10^6$ active nuclei. If they reduce to $10^6$ within $10 \text{ min}$,then the half-life of this sample will be ....... $\text{min}$.

The activity of a radioactive substance is $R_1$ at time $t_1$ and $R_2$ at a later time $t_2$. Its decay constant is $\lambda$. Which of the following relations is correct?
